Make sure that the /etc/NETADDRS file is correct as well as /etc/HOSTNAME

This script should be run when the EPII-kernel is booted for the 1st time.
It gets the host name, domain name, IP adrresss, etc... from the user and puts
them in the appropriate files: /etc/HOSTNAME and /etcNETADDRS. If you remove
these files and reboot, the script should be rerun again, otherwise edit them
to what they should be.
The formats of the files are:
HOSTNAME: 1st field = host name
2nd field = domain name
NETADDRS: 1st field = Ethernet logical unit #
2nd field = IP address
3rd field = IP broadcast address
4th field = netmask
Good luck!
