i486dx2-66 running NetBSD 1.3
System: NetBSD bigbird.boulder-creek.ca.us 1.3 NetBSD 1.3 (BIGBIRD) #3: Thu May 21 14:40:08 PDT 1998 robert@bigbird.boulder-creek.ca.us:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/BIGBIRD i386
>Description:
If I include the line
options ISO,TPIP # OSI
in my kernel configuration and I don't configure any ethernet
devices, I get undefined symbols at kernel link time. I should
be able to use the ISO and TPIP options with only ppp
configured. I do not have an ethernet interface on my
machine.
>How-To-Repeat:
Configure an i386 kernel as described above
(i.e., with "options ISO,TPIP", with at least one ppp
pseudo-device configured, and without any ethernet card
configured. Notice that the kernel link fails.
>Fix:
Fix the config setup so the dependences are really
right. Unfortunately I haven't taken the time to learn how to
do this myself. My workaround was to configure ep0, even
though I have no such device on my machine.
