I have used slip to do several NetBSD installs using sysinst. But it has
been a couple years.

My source still has this modification. All it does is remove the sl from
the ignored_if_names list so sl will be available.

Why isn't sl available?

Is this useful for others?

Or too confusing to have in sysinst?

Or should there be some option to be able to manually enter in interface
name if desired?
