Right, it might be a good idea to comment out those lines - I had
intended them more as an example and not so much as "just rename the
.sample and be done".  But yes, it's probably a good idea to use some
other RFC1918 network.

The network configuration in the sample file does not really work as
intended anyway because by the time rc.local is run, everything in
/etc/rc.d that reads from /etc/rc.cfg has run already anyway, so
instead we should rather shut down dhcpdc and run ifconfig.

Thanks for the suggestion!
