This typically means you already ran "route".  You can run "route
flush" before the route add command if you want to see route run
successfully a second time.

If you're using AUI, this could imply the lack of a "link0" flag
during ifconfig; you might try using "link0" even if you're using UTP,
since the install notes have been known to be wrong about flags.

I'm not familiar with all of the memory corruption issues,
unfortunately.
