right.  just yesterday, due to changes in networking, i switched my
fossil/cpu/auth server from static IP to statically defined DHCP.  all i
had to do was delete a bunch of arguments to ip/ipconfig and track
down and updated all the wired-in IP addresses in the boot scripts.

i never used the loopback address (the line was commented out in
bootfl all along), i just made sure the IP addresses were set properly.
