README FILE Setting up vknetd to give your test vkernel some connectivity. There are two easy ways of doing this. First you can set up a bridge: ifconfig bridge0 create ifconfig bridge0 addm nfe0 ifconfig bridge0 up /usr/sbin/vknetd -p /var/run/vknet -U -b bridge0 Second, you can set up a LAN just between the vkernel and the machine it is running on. In your /etc/rc.conf you set: vknetd_enable="YES" vknetd_flags="10.30.0.1/16" vknetd just sits there waiting for connections. Any number of vkernels can then attach to it. If you bridge you can use your normal LAN's dhcp server and run dhclient on the vkernel. If you set up a local LAN it is easiest to simply configure the address by hand.
