Someone posted a question a week ago where he wanted to configure
a 386BSD machine as a router between two networks and it did not work.

Bill Jolitz answered, that there is an option in the kernel
enabling this code.

I tried to do that - added an option GATEWAY in my kernel config file.
It was recognized and obviously built into the kernel, but during
netstart my kernel now hangs, saying:

localhost: bad value (something like that) 

Should the GATEWAY option work? Or is the code still untested ?
