Hi Mark, moving into the Linux world eh...good stuff.
The error (if you are using SLS) is most likely the lack of the eth0 from
the space.c in the kernel, this error is generated by the CONFIG $IPADDR
etc... line in the rc.net file, I had the same thing, since I don't have an
ethernet card installed or defined, I just killed that line, check in the
usr/etc/inet for rc.net and the config line, add some echo statements to
your rc.* scripts to narrow it down if this is not the problem.
Take Care
