    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
    # 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

            ether 00:02:e3:00:34:10
            media: Ethernet autoselect
            status: no carrier

    lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
            inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
