Anyhow, I turned on debugging and even inserted the following lines right in front of the 'ifconfig' command in rcS as follows:
echo "D: $DEVICE"
echo "IP: $IPADDR"
echo "MASK: $NETMASK"
echo "BD $BROADCAST"
if [ ! -z $IPADDR ]; then
# configure interface and add default gateway
echo "ifconfig $DEVICE $IPADDR netmask $NETMASK broadcast $BROADCAST"
ifconfig $DEVICE $IPADDR netmask $NETMASK broadcast $BROADCAST
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
and saw something like the following in my output (this had to be typed in by hand so there may be a few typos):
start_network echo D: D: eth0 D: eth0 echo IP: 16.118.73.119 IP: 16.118.73.119 echo MASK: 255.255.240.0 MASK: 255.255.240.0 echo BD 16.118.47.255 BD 16.118.47.255 ][ ! -z 16.118.73.119 broadcast 16.118.47.255 broadcast 16.118.47.255 broadcast 16.118.47.255 SIOCSIFADDR: no such device NETMASK: no such device BRDADDR: no such device
this is a puzzlement because the 'if' statement isn't echoing. it looks like there's a CR but no linefeed and the ' ]' may be overwriting the 'if'. but what happened to the trainling semi-colon and the word 'then'? as for the ifconfig command (and the preceeding echo), they're all messed up as well. this was created by editing the initrd.img that was put on the floppy by the mkautoinstalldiskette command!

So what's causing this to fail and what can I do to track the problem down?
what i often do to track down such problems is to change the first line in the rcS script to: #!/bin/sh -x
and log the console during install.
noisy, but its easier to narrow a problem down w/ too much information
in front of you than to keep regening the initrd.img file for each additional
piece of info you want.
