    but the gateway flags are still UGS instead of UGSc under netstat -r

    so I tried to reboot but the same thing happened. So I tried to have the
    interface configure automatically at boot, but it won't ping external hosts
    but it resolves the hostnames.

    Something really strange something happened on this boot:

    It hung on

    Configuring syscons: keymap keyrate blanktime

    for about a minute, but this only happened after I tried to automatically
    enable dhcp on an interface at boot. So I just tried taking it out the
    ifconfig_rl0="DHCP" line again and rebooted,
    and it did not hang (this was also when I had enabled sshd_enable, so it two
    changes to rc.conf). I realised why it doesn't start sshd;
    sshd_enable="YES" wasn't in the rc.conf, I presume this is the new default
    behaviour? If one puts this back in, it generates the keypair, so I was
    probably just being stupid.

    But now I just took it out, and the machine hangs on:

    Starting sshd

    for about 2 minutes then carries on

    OK, I understand now. If I put in the ifconfig_rl0="DHCP" the machine pauses
    for about 1-2mins at the point just beyond Configuring syscons: keymap
    keyrate blanktime, which is also the same place as sshd. So now I suspect
    that this isn't a hang but DHCP doing its job?
