So I've narrowed it down a bunch. following the instructions on http://www.robbennett.co.uk/mids/compile.html
I edit the /usr/src/distrib/common/mtree.common file adding: ./libexec ./lib ./usr/lib ./usr/libexec this somehow breaks dhclient. if I add just ./usr/lib ./usr/libexec then dhclient now works ( /etc/resolv.conf is populated) but alas the mids functionality is not included. right now mtree.common looks like this for me. any clues as to where to put ./lib and /libexec would be nice... I'm doing trial and error ( mostly error ) and it hurts! :) # $NetBSD: mtree.common,v 1.5 2004/04/29 19:44:11 dsl Exp $ /set type=dir uname=root gname=wheel mode=0755 . ./bin ./dev ./etc ./libexec #./lib ./mnt ./mnt2 ./kern ./sbin ./targetroot ./tmp mode=01777 ./usr ./usr/bin ./usr/lib ./usr/libexec ./usr/mdec ./usr/sbin ./usr/share ./usr/share/misc ./var ./var/db ./var/run ./var/log ./var/spool ./var/spool/lock On Wed, 2006-11-08 at 23:47 +0100, ext Hubert Feyrer wrote: > On Wed, 8 Nov 2006, Gary Verhulp wrote: > > I cd /etc > > > > cat resolv.conf > > which responds with nothing > > Strange... stupid question: you're sure that your DHCP server hands out > the necessary information for /etc/resolv.conf (nameserver IPs, maybe > DNS domain name)? > > > > I have network connectivity I can ftp hosts by IP. > > running dhclient by hand unfortunately scrolls off too fast for me to > > read.
