Systems normally identify their ip address by matching the ethernet
address to an entry in /lib/ndb/local.

Since you don't have one you will need to tell the system
via ipconfig:

          ip/ipconfig [-ndDrG] [-b baud] [-m mtu] [-g gateway] [-h
          hostname] [-x netmtpt] type device [verb] [local-addr]
          [mask] [remote-addr] [file-server-addr] [auth-server-addr]

check the manual page for details.
