@ -40,6 +40,17 @@ Fix: Install fvwm from /usr/ports/x11-wm/fvwm2 instead of using the
and reinstall /usr/src/release/sysinstall from 3.3-STABLE sources
to fix the X Desktop menu item in question.
<strong>The lo0 (loop-back) device is not configured on startup, causing
utilities like mountd to fail.</strong>
Fix: Assuming that you experience this problem at all, edit /etc/rc.conf
and search for where the network_interfaces variable is set. In
its value, change the word "auto" to "lo0" since the auto keyword
doesn't bring the loop-back device up properly, for reasons yet to
be adequately determined. Since your other interface(s) will already
be set in the network_interfaces variable after initial installation,
it's reasonable to simply s/auto/lo0/ in rc.conf and move on.
