I have a problem at the boot time of 386bsd0.1 with Terry's patches.

When I boot the system, the boot message appeares like:

================================

The message
	"ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCGIFFLAGS): no such interface"
is the what I would like to know how to fix for.

I think there is no such ioctl functionality "SIOCGIFFLAGS" defined
in the 386BSD0.1.

Does anyone have the fix to stop this noisy messages on the console?
