   Whoa... er, wait. You mean to say the installation created /etc/resolve.conf
   instead of resolv.conf? Hurm... this bug must have been introduced recently:
   when I did my installation, which was a day or so after 2.0-RELEASE first
   hit the net, the install script created resolv.conf correctly (it botched
   almost everything else, but resolv.conf it did right ;). Somebody must
   have violated the "it's not broken, don't fix it" rule. Okay Jordan:
   what's your excuse this time? :)

Not me, boss!

jkh@whisker-> cd /usr/src/release/
jkh@whisker-> grep resolv *
netinst.sh:                             echo "domain ${DOMAIN}" > ${ETC}/resolv.conf
netinst.sh:                             echo "nameserver ${NAMESERVER}" >> ${ETC}/resolv.conf

I think this was pilot error on the user's part, somehow.  Of all the
things I've broken so far, this isn't one of them! :-)
