Well, I had a few suggestions (thanks), but:

# /sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0
SIOCADDRT: No such device
>> have you tried

>> # /sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 dev [presumably lo]
# /sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 dev lo
SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument
>> You might want to route add -net 127.0.0.0 lo
# /sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 lo
SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument
Also,
# /sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 dev lo
SIOCADDRT: File exists
All this with
# ifconfig -a
