Running net-setup from livecd-tools on a system booted up from disk corrupts /etc/conf.d/net. The file appears like this:

genesis conf.d # more net
# This network configuration was written by net-setup
config_enp2s0=( "192.168.1.160 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask /usr/sbin/net-setup: line 120: --inputbox: command not found" )
routes_enp2s0=( "default via 192.168.1.1" )

Yes, this is a known problem. 

pkg_setup() {
        ewarn "This package is designed for use on the LiveCD only and will do"
        ewarn "unspeakably horrible and unexpected things on a normal system."
        ewarn "YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!"
