Original question:
How do I get a newly installed 2nd NIC card to show up?
Only 1 of the 5 people said that since I was running 4.0E,
that I needed to run 'sizer -n' and get the device into
my /usr/sys/conf/HOSTNAME file. I'll RTFM.

Try booting genvmunix, run doconfig with no options, move the new kernel
into place and reboot. Then your 2nd NIC should show up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
you need to boot from genvmunix "boot -file genvmunix -flag 0 (single user
mode) " , and then save current /vmunix, do a bcheckrc, and perform a
doconfig. reboot from the new kernel and you should be all set, then do a
netconfig to configure the new card.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The directions are in the system management guide, in the part
on adding new hardware. You need to boot the /genvmunix kernel
which should see the new card, then run "doconfig" without any
arguments (you may need to merge in kernel tuning changes from
your old config file by hand), then move the new kernel to the
root directory and reboot and your new "tu" interface should be
visible.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll try booting with the generic kernel (boot -fi genvmunix) and then the
new
nic should show up. After that, only a doconfig is needed to create a new
kernel
that supports the new nic; and boot again (with the new kernel).
Then run netsetup and you'll be able to configure the new nic.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This being Tru64 v4.x, you will need to run sizer -n and
add the new device specific line to /sys/conf/MACHINE.
