After getting bash prompt, I determined wheather network is working, but it doesn't.
It tells there is no protocol.

init-2.00# ./ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
127.0.0.1: Resolver Error 0 (no error)

init-2.00# ping 210.105.51.96

Is something wrong?

I used ramdisk root file system, and ramdisk image was obtained from linuxppc.org. (about 4Meg, library version is 1.99)
What is wrong is that there is no /etc/protocols file.
Try it:
	# mv /etc/protocols /etc/protocols.none
	# ping 127.0.0.1
	ping: unknown protocol icmp.
	# mv /etc/protocols.none /etc/protocols
