I originally had a RealTek based NIC in my box when I installed
OpenBSD. I decided to swap it out and stick a VIA-based(vr0) based
card in, and also a 3com(xl0). Following the FAQ on openbsd.org, I
created hostname.vr0 with 'inet 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0 NONE'. Now
on boot, when /etc/netstart executes, I get ": not in table" returned.
The odd thing is, if I manually do it by executing 'ifconfig vr0 inet
192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0 NONE', it works like a champ. I know I can
do a workaround easily, but I'd really like to get the script working.
Anyone have any ideas?

thanks,
ben

typo in the script ?
hidden characters ?

that was it.. apparently Joe sticks some sort of hidden character or
something similar in the file, because after I edited with vi, it
works fine. thanks..
