Hi Folks,

	I'm now running NetBSD 0.8 on my Compaq Contura 3/25 laptop with
Conner 121M hard disk and 8Megs of memory.  It seems to run fine except for
one problem.  Well, it's sort of a big problem if you ask me.  If I try to
use rsh, telnet, ftp, or rlogin to the "localhost" address the machine reboots
on me.  No panic, just a reboot.  I'm running the GENERICISA kernel.

	If I use ping on the machine it works just fine and I can do a 
netstat -i and find out that yes lo0 is configured.

	Right now there isn't an ethernet connected to it so I figure things
should be working over the local bus just fine.

	Any ideas on this one?

Thanks,
George
