Ah, great! I rewrote this to use <static-networking>...and it almost
works already. I have added
(service static-networking-service-type
(list (static-networking (interface "lo")
(ip "127.0.0.1")
(requirement '())
(provision '(loopback)))))
and the VM builds, only it doesn't start
herd: exeception caught while executing 'start' on service 'loopback':
Value out of range 0 to 4294967295: -1
I have added new code for this as a squash! commit, that I then also
revert for now, until it works. :-(
Greetings,
janneke
