I've figured out that after some recent posix1e upgrades (mac stuff?),
ifconfig -a will blow up if mac.conf isn't there:
# mv /etc/mac.conf /etc/mac.conf.backup
# ifconfig -a
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.0.0.6 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
ether 00:30:48:21:bb:74
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
Memory fault (core dumped)
# mv /etc/mac.conf.backup /etc/mac.conf
