Re: [9front] Need help with configuring the Internet

[염준혁 <skhds1@gmail.com>]

Or perhaps there is another way to configure the net without
running confignet? I merely tried that because that was the
install step that failed...

ip/ipconfig doesn't work, but it's probably because dhcp doesn't work
in this network (I have to manually type in the ip addresses for other
systems too).
The output is:
ipconfig: no success with DHCP

As for ls /net/ether*, there is a /net/ether0, so I guess there is
ethernet afterall?
The first step for troubleshooting at
http://fqa.9front.org/fqa6.html#6.2.8 told me to do
"cat /net/ndb", which returned nothing, so I just assumed ethernet is
not working here.

Also, I should provide you cat /dev/kmseg with a screenshot, since the
messages are long
(I'm actually seeing a lot of "failed"..). However, I'm unsure of how
to attach the picture
on a mailing list like this. Is using sites like imgur.com ok?

Thanks,
