I actually have a question about DHCP too:

I am trying to do an FTP install of 4.3-RELEASE. However, when I 
get to the portion where it asks me for my network connection. It 
finds the Ethernet card, but when it probes for the DHCP server, 
it times out and doesn't find it. Any ideas why? I'm using Road 
Runner (Cable) NYC from Time Warner City Cable. If anyone has any 
clues, please e-mail me back. Thanks.

>It's not necessary to specify the DHCP server.
>Simply put
>ifconfig_adapter="DHCP"
>in your /etc/rc.conf file. Where "adapter" is the interface for 

the network card that's conneted to the cable modem. For example:
>ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP"
>if you're using one of the supported Intel cards.
>See the man page for rc.conf for more details.
