In this particular case, it is pity that it is not more deterministic in |
| 8 |
the first place. When installing a new system, it is not unknown for the |
| 9 |
ethernet devices not to be enumerated in the same order when booted from |
| 10 |
install CD and installed system. This can cause problems when doing a |
| 11 |
remote server install, where you set /etc/conf.d/net according to how |
| 12 |
the network is plugged during the install, and then when initially |
| 13 |
booting the installed system the networking does not work because the |
| 14 |
network port allocation has changed. |
