Network net starting on boot

G

gpatrick

Installed 8.0 and added entries to rc.conf for the network:
Code: 
hostname="host"
ifconfig_re0="inet 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0" \
  defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"

When it boots I have no network and the errors scroll by too quicly, so I ran /etc/netstart and saved the messages to output:
Code: 
host# /etc/netstart
 : not found
 : not found.
devd already running? (pid=499).
 : not found
Setting hostuuid : 83877a8b-eaa1-de22-aab8-221a22e651c0.

But I can start the network manually using ifconfig. I never experienced this with 7.2, 8.0RC1, 8.0RC2, 8.0RC3.
 
That is my entire rc.conf. Just hostname and ifconfig.

The backslash is just a continuation so the line doesn't wrap.
 
That's odd. I've used the backslash like that for years and with multiple versions of FreeBSD. It even worked with 8.0 RC2. Not sure if I used it with 8.0 RC3.

Anyway. Thanks.
