Hi,

I think the differences in the networking would be another good thing to
add to the ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.3_ALPHA/mac68k/UPGRADE
file.  Again, if people upgrade from 1.2.x to 1.3 without running current,
their networking will be broken.

I didn't have this problem since I had set up netowrking "by hand" in
/etc/netstart.  It's an old habit from BSDI 2.x.
