So, I checked 6 SGIs I have remote access to, and discovered that they
all had this problem too.

epee:~: foreach d ( jerkface pie torque kenmore mixolydian snuggle )
foreach? rrsh $d grep NETDEV /etc/athena/rc.conf
foreach? end
NETDEV=NODEV;           export NETDEV           #  Network device
NETDEV=NODEV;           export NETDEV           #  Network device
NETDEV=NODEV;           export NETDEV           #  Network device
NETDEV=NODEV;           export NETDEV           #  Network device
NETDEV=NODEV;           export NETDEV           #  Network device
NETDEV=NODEV;           export NETDEV           #  Network device

OTOH, I couldn't find anything that tried to use the NETDEV variable
on the SGI.
