14 I just migrated my laptop to openrc-0.5.2-r2 along with baselayout-2.0.1
15 and sysvinit-2.87-r1 .
16 [as user] Everything went smoothly and without problems. I spotted two
17 things during boot though:
18
19 * Autoloaded 0 module(s)
20 * device-mapper uses addon code which is deprecated
21 * and may not be available in the future.
22
23 and
24
25 * Adding routes
26 * 127.0.0.0/8 via 127.0.0.1...
27 * Adding static routes...
28 SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable

30 Looking at the routing table we have:
31
32 Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
33 127.0.0.0 - 255.0.0.0 ! 0 - 0 -
34 127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
35
36 Why do we need a reject route for 127.0.0.0? Packets with destination
37 127.0.0.0 going through interfaces other than lo aren't dropped anyway?
38 Does the loopback interface need a gateway set?
