System: NetBSD Reno.DSG.Stanford.EDU 1.3 NetBSD 1.3 (GENERIC) #2: Tue Dec 30 01:16:36 PST 1997 jonathan@Reno.DSG.Stanford.EDU:/reno/compile/GENERIC pmax


>Description:

Go into sysinst's network configuration menu (either by selecting an
install/upgrade with sets on a network source or via the `configure
network' submenu of hte `utilities' menu.

On a multi-homed host, select a network inferface you don't want to
use.  Note that there's no way to get out of this without bringing the
network up.

This may cause problems in some setups (e.g., multiple NICs on the
same cable; no spare IP address; unconnected media that isn't
going to  ifconfig up properly or may wedge;  etc., etc.)

>How-To-Repeat:
	See above.


>Fix:

	Add a `quit back to previous menu' option in addition
	to the existing `yes' `no' options for `Is this correct'.

A workaround is to kill the installation session and start again,
but that's not very friendly.
