Just a quick clarification, lo(4) says that the loopback interface should be configured last, and /etc/netstart seems to support this but netstart(8) says that the loopback interface is configured `before` physical interfaces:
from netstart(8):
> netstart performs the following operations, in the sequence given:
>
> • Set the machine's name.
> • Configure the loopback interface.
> • Configure all the physical interfaces.
from lo(4):
> The loopback interface should be the last interface configured, as
> protocols may use the order of configuration as an indication of
> priority. The loopback should never be configured first unless no
> hardware interfaces exist.
Typo, or am I misunderstanding something?
If it's a typo, patch to update netstart(8) inline.
Thanks,
