SUMMARY: How to undo NetMgr change...

	Thanks to the many people who responded to my post yesterday
about how to undo a change made with NetMgr that prevented the machine
from booting normally.

The problem: 
	I changed NetMgr...Local...Broadcast Address to the IP address
	of my own machine. When I rebooted, the machine hung when it
	got to the network initialization stage. Since I couldn't boot
	it, I wasn't sure how to undo the change I'd made.

The solution:	
	Boot into single-user mode and enter 'bsd -s' at the 'NeXT>'
	prompt. Edit your /etc/hostconfig file. (In my case, I changed
	IPBROADCAST back to '-AUTOMATIC-'). Logout. Reboot normally.

	This is all probably quite obvious to anyone who knows what
they're doing (but maybe not...!).

	Thanks for the help.

	Michael.
