How to undo NetMgr change - sys won't boot...

	I mistakenly set NetMgr...Local...Broadcast address to the IP
address for my machine. (It's not on a NetInfo network, just connected
to the campus Ethernet).

	Now, the boot process gets to a point where it's saying
"netinfo timeout, sleeping" (shortly after "starting rpc and net
services") and then hangs.

	How can I reset NetMgr...Local...Broadcast Address to
"default" (assuming that's what I should do at this point)?

	Thank you in advance...

	Michael.
