>I have also noticed a strange occurrence when the autoconfig routine loads
the TEST device in the list of device modules.  The Apple ethercard (already
present) is excluded from the listing of startup devices.  When this happens,
I lose my ethernet access.  The autoconfiguration routine is of the format
"autoconfig -o /testunix -L loadfile -S /etc/startup -M /etc/master".
	
	ALWAYS use the -I option, which causes "initialization" scripts to
	be run during autoconfig.  Unfortunately omitted from the document,
	and it really should be a default anyway.
