DHCP, and multiple ethernet cards
I recently tested 2.2.11 on the Quadra 950. Everything worked
fine(keyboard map, install drivers and modules, configure drivers and
modules, etc...,haven't tried install base recently but that worked
before assuming it still does) except for the configure the network
part. A note about the machine: it has a built-in ethernet card that
needs some sort of convertor cable to hook up a standard twisted pair
cat 5 cable to it. Seeing as how i didn't have one of those, but i
did have a spare 10 BaseT apple nubus ethernet card, i stuck it in.
It works fine under the macOS, and I'm 99% certain the kernel
recognizes it, but it doens't asign it any particular name(i.e. eth0
or eth1)(is there some way i can cause the boot messages to be stored
to a file for analysis some other time?). The built in sonic ethernet
card is assigned eth0.
One other thing, that I'm pretty certain has been mentioned before, i
have to do a mkdir /var/run/ in order for DHCP auto-configure to
attempt to work correctly. Before i did the mkdir it gave me an
error about not being able to find or write to or something like that
/var/run/pump.sock
How do I tell it to use the ethernet card that is located in the 4th
nubus slot(according to the MacOS is is slot #4 at least)
