Network problems

Hi,

I just installed OpenDarwin 6.6.2 on my Wallstreet powerbook (I believe  
that Darwin 7.x isn't supported - it has 64MiB RAM and no USB) and am  
having trouble getting it to observe network configuration.  I followed  
the Network Configuration HOWTO on the website to set it up.

/etc/iftab contains the following two lines:
lo0 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 up
en0 inet 163.1.245.11 netmask 255.255.248.0 up

and /etc/hostconfig contains these lines[*]:
HOSTNAME=raskin
ROUTER=163.1.247.254

[*]I got the machine this Saturday :(

however, network configuration doesn't stick.  Whenever I reboot, the  
machine's hostname is 'localhost' and en0 has assigned itself a v4LL  
address.  If I use ifconfig with the invocation displayed in iftab,  
then it will interact with the other machines on the local network but  
won't route to the internet properly.  If I try to add a default route  
using the router shown above, then the messages:

[localhost:~] root# route add default 163.1.247.254
route: writing to routing socket: File exists
add net default: gateway 163.1.247.254: File exists

are shown, and it doesn't then pick up the route.  The nameservers  
(which are in /etc/resolv.conf rather than NetInfo /locations/resolver)  
are the only part of the configuration to work properly across boots.   
What have I missed?

Thanks,

Graham.

P.S.
