Hi there!

The default cobalt kernel configuration file does not turn on ipfilter 
or routing.  You need to turn on GATEWAY and "pseudo-device ipfilter" 
for these features.

I would like to see the "OS restore CD" include a kernel that has 
everything turned on, ala x86, now that the size limitation has been 
dealt with using the boot loader.
