If /bin/ndb/cs can't figure out the name of the system, its because
it can't find the ether or IP address in /lib/ndb/local (or couldn't
open the ether device). Clearly you think you've done this. Could you
send me the relevant lines from /lib/ndb/local?

When my 486 boots, it prints out an error message that I need to
edit /ndb/local and reboot. Having done that many times, it's clear
something else is wanted. Also, /ndb/cs does not set sysname and the
local tcp network isn't available. However, if I tell ip/ipconfig what
the ip address of my machine is by way of a command line argument, the
/ndb/local error message goes away, the network is accessible, and I
just have to mount #P and poke some routes at iproute.
Is there something I should do so the initial setup (aside from the routing)
happens automagically as the error message seems to imply? (Gateway 486,
enet board WD8013EPC)
