Description Jean-Claude Gervais 2011-06-19 00:16:15 UTC

The user is directed to add the network device before it exists.

The instructions following that -
Code Listing 2.9: Creating extra initscripts

Should probably come first since they can be used to create the missing device.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Partition a hard-disk and install Gentoo following the instructions in the manual.
Actual Results:  
# rc-update add net.eth0 default
 * rc-update: service `net.eth0' does not exist


Expected Results:  
# rc-update add net.eth0 default
 * service net.eth0 added to runlevel default


# ln -s net.lo net.eth0
