 I am calling start_network in my kernel. However I have changed the
argument passed to start_conf_network in start_network.c.
 
 I am getting output like this;
 
  Creating OS environment..
 
  Probing Devices ..
  Probing ac3200
  ..
  ..
  Current Hardware tree:
  isa.isa
        0xe400.epc100 SMC EPIC/100 83c170 Ethernet Adaptor
 
  Calling init_time_counter
  Calling inittodr
  Configuring ether dev0 as de0
 
  bootp: Trying bootp with epic100 card (00:e0:29:31:97:70) ...
 
  It then asks for IP addresses and Netmask from the user
 
>> Attaching network interface de0
 
  It then prompts for hostname and domain name and then configures the
host and says 'Network Configuration complete'.          

 I even printed out the result of 'osenv_device_lookup' which comes out to
be 1.
