Still does not work. If I switch the lines and init ae0 first and 
secondly sn0 it
seems to go further, I can log in on sn0, but look what error is
produced when I log in on ae0 (on the console) :

Telnetd[191]:  ttloop : read : Interrupted system call

ae0 is the NUBUS ethernet device.

What might this mean?  Is the netmask wrong here or what?
