NetBSD fox 1.6B NetBSD 1.6B (MINIMAL) #2: Fri Jun 21 11:06:20 EST 2002 grant@tinkerbell:/sys/arch/sparc64/compile/MINIMAL sparc64

>Description:
after netbooting and selecting 'ftp' to fetch the sets, sysinst asks
to configure hme0.

this would seem to be unnecessary, as the interface is already
configured, despite the output of `ifconfig hme0'

hme0:
flags=8a63<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,ALLMULTI,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 08:00:20:ed:10:1f
        media: Ethernet manual (none)
        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 0.0.0.0

>How-To-Repeat:
run sysinst after netbooting and select to fetch sets from the
network.
>Fix:
if we booted from network, set sysinst runtime defaults for that
interface (allowing the user to change them).
