Tru64 boot hanging on configuring network

Tur64 hung on bootup after the:

Configuring network:

setting hostname: node1

 

Nothing network related would work.  I'd get a connection refused message when trying to telnet or ssh in....  That's because it hadn't loaded the rest of the network scripts: /etc/inet.local, etc.

 

I forgot to set MAX_NETDEVS in rc.config.  I control-c out of the hang, changed rc.config by: rcmgr set MAX_NETDEVS 24   and restarted.  Everything worked fine.
