Greetings.
I'm having a bit of difficulty configuring a F760 with two fiber cards on different sub nets. It's been running fine with ifconfig f3 `hostname`-f3 netmask 255.255.240.0 I've tried adding a similar line to etc/rc for f1 explicitly stating the IP address instead of hostname, installing the additional card in slot 1 and rebooting. Also tried installing the card with no changes to rc and rebooting. The result is the same, the system panics and fails to boot.
Can anyone help?
I would try floppy boot using option (no /etc/rc, I think #2 from the menu). Then run command, "sysconfig -v" and examine the output. Do you see both cards listed in the sysconfig output and are the two cards identical?
Now run command "setup" and answer the questions. Setup will keep a backup copy of all your /etc/?? config files like (/etc/rc, /etc/exports, /etc/hosts, etc.). But setup should choose the appropriate mediatype and build the correct rc file for your hardware. There is a mediatype argument to the ifconfig command.
The panic messge you receive might help.
Hope this helps, Gil
