Note that the first two bytes of the hostid must be right, or
the OS will initialize looking at the wrong addresses for various I/O
devices and memory management hardware at a minimum. (And your ethernet
address *must* be unique. If you don't know the right values for that,
you must take a junked old ethernet card from a PC, yank the ROM or PROM
which contains the ethernet address and *destroy* it, and use the
ethernet address from the card (which should be on a label on the card.
This will assure that you get a unique address.
in my small network the use of the default addresses given by the two
documents is ok i think
Perhaps so -- as long as you don't connect to the outside
world via ethernet at least.
The MAC address is never seen outside the local network. The outside
world neither knows nor cares about it.
