If you go to http://www.csh-east.org/~tad/plan9, you'll find a script
called ``netconfig'' and an example /lib/ndb/local file that you can use to
maybe ease the setup.  In /rc/bin/termrc, replace the call to ip/ipconfig with
a call to netconfig, which will prompt you for DHCP or a system name from
the ndb database.

The example /lib/ndb/local file is the configuration I use on my laptop,
which roams between work (DHCP), and home, connected to the Lucent
intranet.

When I boot my laptop at work, I pick the default (DHCP), and when
I boot at home, I enter "think" at the "system name" prompt.

	Same had I. Except I also tried to run dhcpd on local host before
	running ipconfig (to get ip configuration from dhcpd on my own host).
	I end up with editing ipconfig command line in termrc by hands too.

I was getting this error until I changed my ip/ipconfig line in termrc
to:

ip/ipconfig -D -g my_gw ether /net/ether0 add my_ip my_mask

One of the docs I read seemed to imply that ip/ipconfig should get that
info from /lib/ndb/local, but I never could get it to work without
including it explicitly in the ip/ipconfig command line.
