: Did you make an extra entry in network_interfaces ?
: e.g. network_interfaces="lo0 ed1 ed1 ed1"
This won't work, not unless "working" means doing the same thing three
times :(
If you want it to happen at boot up time, stick something in /etc/start_if.???
where ??? is your interface (ed1 or whatever).
For example, in /etc/sysconfig:
network_interfaces="lo0 ed0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1"
ifconfig_ed0="up"
and in /etc/start_if.ed0:
ifconfig ed0 inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00
ifconfig ed0 inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 0xffffffff alias
ifconfig ed0 inet 5.6.7.8 netmask 0xffffffff alias
