I don´t know if this is a bug in documentation, or a Softwarebug, i decided to put it in here. I installed a fresh stage3 (stage3-armv6j_hardfp-20131128.tar.bz2) and symlinked it to net.eth0. After reboot The Interface eth0 was up but SSHD does not start because Openrc thinks that eth0 is just the virtual net.lo and not net. Reproducible: Didn't try copy net.lo to net.eth0 to fix
There is not enough information here for me to know what the issue is. Please undo your fix, then attach a copy of /etc/rc.conf and rc.log with your system booting so I can see what is happening. Please feel free to re-open this bug when you can provide this information. Thanks, William
