This is the error you get when an ethernet interface isn't present.
Since your machine seems to be working, you can ignore the error
message. Most likely, you have a file named something like
/etc/hostname.ep0~ (that is, an emacs backup file) which is confusing
the netstart script a little bit. You can delete that file to
eliminate the error message (but don't delete /etc/hostname.ep0, of
course).
