lo0 is the loopback interface. this is NO physical interface!

do a "grep net /etc/path_to_inst"

you should find (i hope so) a "hme" interface or something similar. test it with:

# ifconfig hme0 plumb
# ifconfig hme0 192.168.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0 up
# ifconfig -a

noe you should see your nic an can fill the /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname.hme0 files....

hth,
DN2

there is noting in /etc/path_to_inst

do a "init 0" and from the ok prompt a "boot -ar". after that, there should be a valid /etc/path_to_inst!

Rebooting with command: boot -ar

What shell I do now ?
thanks

Have you tried return?

It looks like it will load kernel/unix by default.

Looks like you have rebooted into single user mode.

Aren't you supposed to be checking that /etc/path_to_inst exists now?
