71 Startnet in 3.0b2 says there is "no such interface" why?
Because you failed to read the NOTE to BETA testers. This is BETA software; so you ARE a Beta tester. BETA software is still under construction and therefore so are the manuals and the install script.
There are some postscript manuals available for AmiTCP 2.x The 3.0 stuff hasn't been added to the postscript manuals yet, so the postscript docs aren't in the 3.0 archive, but they are available online at kampi.hut.fi and other places.
To fix the "no such interface" problem you must edit two files: amitcp:db/interfaces and amitcp:bin/startnet.
In amitcp:bin/startnet you must change the ifconfig commands so that instead of file name/interface number
devs:network/a2065.device/0
you have
alias0
where alias is defined by you in the interfaces file.
Some predefined aliases are already in the interfaces file. In fact the a2065.device is defined as ether. Therefore you could have changed the above to ether0 in startnet and not had to change the interface file.
Also, you must change the lo/0 to lo0 in the startnet file because the slash between the name and the unit number has been dropped and will generate an error if you include it.
