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.

my suggestion would be to boot single user and edit the hostconfig file in /etc  
and put in the correct info in each variable.  then reboot in multiuser mode.
