Hello everydody.

I have an old sparcstation SLC which have losen his internal
configuration.

When booting, it says that ethernet address is ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff.

(It seems that is an old PROMs bug)

My network don't really support this suspicious address, so I would know 
if I can force an ethernet address (with "ifconfig" maybe ?)

(I run NetBSD 1.2.1)

Thanks.
