How to setup network connection for initramfs running in QEMU?

[Pranay Srivastava]

Hi Douglas,

Do you've /etc/hosts ? Have you tried giving the loopback address in that
file?

Just check any /etc/hosts file from another distribution and hack on it to
at least have loopback address pinged. Then we'll try to fix machine to
machine ping. (Tun-tap? Not sure really.)
