I've never done re-run the installer after installation, but it's still
around:

	ls /bin/inst/

Note that inst/confignet only sets some environment variables for
future steps to run, but doesn't actually save them. That appears to
be done in

	inst/ndbsetup

Inst/ndbsetup appends a line to /lib/ndb/local. On my system, that line
looks somewhat like:

	sys=meathoook ether=560001dbcf68

Take a look at 'man ipconfig', which is used for configuring your
network cards. Running it manually should give you either a working
network or some errors that can be debugged.

You also learn more from fixing a broken system.

Nope. Nothing wrong.
