[OmniOS-discuss] kvm vnic dhcp disabled, how to enable?

[Geoff Nordli]

Figured it out, I had a tab on the -net vnic line, which is didn't like.

-net vnic,vlan=0,name=net0,ifname=$VNIC,macaddr=$mac, \
         ip=$IP,netmask=$NETMASK,gateway_ip=$GATEWAY_IP, \
         dns_ip1=$DNS_IP1,hostname=$HOSTNAME,lease_time=$LEASE \

removing the extra spaces fixed the problem and enabled the dhcp.
