Does anyone successfully getting 386bsd0.1 onto the ethernet, so far?
After getting the bindist installed completely on hard disk, I got a binaries
only complete 386bsd system. I try connecting the box into the net(it's a ethernet, with a mix of large number of Suns and other workstations).
Transceiver+ patch cable were all connected, BTW, I'm using wd8003e (irq 9).
Light indicator on the transceiver looks OK, receiving is blinking, so packets
are passing thru.
	I look into the /etc/netstart, seems like some line which need to 
enable the networking are being commented out. I try start the ifconfig 
manually...	ifconfig we0 inet 192.70.173.80 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.70.173.0

I also add several existing entries on the /etc/hosts (Suns on the net).
Got no luck so far pinging any of the hosts. WHat have I done wrong?
Is there any documentation on setting it up on a ethernet?
try ifconfig we0, and this is what I got:
	we0: flags=863<up,broadcast,notrailers,running>
		inet 192.70.173.80 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.70.173.0

There's no subnetting on the ethernet.
Any help/clue would be appreciated.
