Be certen that you have newunix'ed both ae6 (for apples
ethernet card) and bnet into your kernal.
Be very sure that the /etc/hosts and the /etc/NETADDRS files
have the SAME host numbers. Also check your /etc/inittab file
for cases where you have 'wait' where it ought to be 'respawn'
as this is a sure way to get confused.
If your Apple ether card's little red lite is out, so is the
card. To my knowalge there is no way to have Apple fix it if
so.
Look to see if you have core files in /, you will see cores
for biod (strings /core | head) if you have not added NFS to
your kernal.
Mostly its a pain to get working because the code is written
is such a way that it can not tell you what step things broke
at, sigh.
