Just ran into a gotcha with my main server upgrade to openrc/baselayout2 - it appears that the old ifconfig network syntax no longer works. I kept getting the message:
Error: either "local" is duplicate, or "netmask" is garbage until I changed the syntax from config_eth0="XX.YY.ZZ.WW broadcast XX.YY.ZZ.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" to config_eth0="XX.YY.ZZ.WW/24" The other syntax worked in baselayout1. -- Manuel A.
