The changes I made were to 
/etc/resolv.conf

 I added my domain, my isps to nameservers, and search order of lookup
files, bind.

/etc/rc.conf
 I added my hostname, domainname, and default route.
hostname="roberta"

domainname="" .. I omitted the actual domain because I don't want to
make my system vulnerable until after I configure it.

defaultroute="192.168.1.1" 
I am using a linksys cable router with portforwarding to handle NAT.

/etc/ifconfig.mc0
 I added: "inet 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0"


ifconfig -a 
displays entries for mc0 and lo0 as well as ppp, sl, tun,
and gif -- as far as I know I don't need ppp and the others I"ve no
idea what they're for.

So I try to duplicate my best guess as to what happen on a normal
startup by hand, but I probably am missing stuff. I tried to guess by
looking at /etc/rc.d/network. I believe much of what is in
/etc/rc.conf should be in files, but I can work that out later. I am
assuming that the environment variable would have been set by rc.conf
is a full boot, as opposed to single user.


1. Set hostname
hostname -s roberta

2. Set domain ( see above)
domainname my-dsl.isp.net

3. config lo0
ifconfig lo0 inet 127.0.0.1

Note: There is a lot of inet6 suff displaying for lo0 after running
"ifconfig -a". no idea why.

4. add the default route to the loopback?? just duplicating ascript.
route add -inet 127.0.0.0 -netmask 0xff000000 127.0.0.1 -reject


5.ifconfig mc0 inet 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0
 
and the errors are reproduced down to the pc, traps, trap type etc.
