NO!!! I do not want this ever asking for an IP. There's no management
port, dunno why, but the only thing where it should be is a couple of
pieces of thin, bent metal, and nothing, apparently, damaged.

I do see one option of "defgw macaddr" - is that supposed to be a MAC
external to the server, or can I use the MAC of eth1 (or whatever the
stupid, unrememberable name is)?
