When I installed this machine I placed an address on HME0 via the install process. After working on the machine for a few days and rebooting many times, without an issue, I had to change the address and the machine name. I used ifconfig to change the address, I change the machine name using the hostname command, and I made the proper modifications to hostname.hme0 file. When I changed the interface I did not unplumb the interface. I have verified the hosts file, networks file, hostname.hme file and all is correct.
Now when I reboot the machine I get and error message BAD IP ADDRESS . When the machine comes up there is no default route and no ip address on the interface HME0. At this point and time I can enter the IP address via ifconfig and I can enter the default route and all works fine.
When in the heck is the IP address on boot coming from ? I know there is a bad address defined somewhere but I can not find it.
Sincerely
