Hi! As for the "no localhost" problem, see the Errata file on www.freebsd.org and correct the entry in your /etc/rc.conf which says network_interfaces="xl0 auto" to "xl0 lo0" This is a known problem in -RELEASE, which is fixed in -STABLE. After this (and a reboot) try sysinstall again. Chances are things will get all right again. Cheers!

I have installed a FreeBSD 3.3 machine, and it does not have a localhost interface. As far as I can remember, I have done the network configuration after installing bsd, and have played with it a little bit. However, I have not worked manually on the configuration files to get this result. There is also a second problem: when I enter the sysinstall menu, go to configuration/networking and select "interfaces", I get the following question: "Running multi-user, assume that the network is already configured?" When I answer yes, the sysinstall coredumps with a segmentation fault. (when I answer no, everything seems to be ok and I can reconfigure the network interface - but after that the problems are still the same) fizz# /sbin/ifconfig -a xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 194.176.4.34 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 194.176.4.39 ether 00:60:97:17:48:3b media: 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> (autoselect) supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX <half-duplex> 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 tun0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552 ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8008<LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 Contents of /etc/rc.conf: # This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf # please make all changes to this file. # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # nfs_server_enable="YES" nfs_client_enable="YES" tcp_extensions="YES" # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # ifconfig_xl0="inet 194.176.4.34 netmask 255.255.255.248" defaultrouter="194.176.4.32" network_interfaces="xl0 auto" hostname="fizz.systembureau.com" # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # ifconfig_xl0="inet 194.176.4.34 netmask 255.255.255.248" defaultrouter="194.176.4.33" hostname="fizz.systembureau.com" I have edited rc.conf and corrected (at least I think so) the contradictions in the rc.conf, but I still dont have a localhost interface, and sysinstall still crashes: # This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf # please make all changes to this file. # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # nfs_server_enable="YES" nfs_client_enable="YES" tcp_extensions="YES" # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # ifconfig_xl0="inet 194.176.4.34 netmask 255.255.255.248" defaultrouter="194.176.4.33" network_interfaces="xl0 auto" hostname="fizz.systembureau.com" No local host: [fizz:~]/sbin/ping 127.0.0.1 PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes ^C --- 127.0.0.1 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss How-To-Repeat: I can reproduce the sysinstall crash on the machine. However, I cannot remember what exactly I did to get a system without localhost.
