done

--> Something very important to remember about partitions
It is important to note that Cylinder 0 contains the disklabel, which
contains the partition table. A normal filesystem can be placed
starting at Cylinder 0, since it will not touch the disklabel.
If you lay down a raw device, for a database, over Cylinder 0,
then you will completely lose all your partitions. You will then
have to restore the disklabel, and backup from tape if you happen to do this.

--> getting a server on the network
add hosts entry for IP address
clear configs: ifconfig pe0 unplumb
ifconfig pe0 10.20.2.27 netmask 255.0.0.0 up
route add default 10.20.0.1 1
verify the routing table: netstat –rn
add resolv.conf entry: domain rabobank.com.au nameserver 192.192.192.252
edit /etc/nsswitch.conf change hosts to files, dns


lesson here is to unplumb interface, and let ifconfig setup the routing.
if you specify an ip address and a netmask it will manage
the routing and the broadcasting.
