Thanks again for the help. Can you tell me how to set my interface up
manually so that it will use DHCP for the ip and netmask, gateway, etc.?
Thanks,
Tom Connolly

dc0, I would imagine.

Oh, yes. Go on through the installation. Afterward, edit /etc/rc.conf to
reflect reality. You'll have lines like these to change:
hostname="sheol.localdomain"
ifconfig_ed0="inet 192.168.16.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
What you'll change is the hostname (if need be), and ifconfig_ed0 to
ifconfig_dc0. IIRC, that's all it takes.

I don't remember how to specify the interface within sysinstall(8), but I'm
sure you can (make sure you've resolved conflicting interrupts first).
I usually set up the network manually, after sysinstall(8), just to stay in
practice!

Need a telecommuting UNIX SysAdmin in Minnesota?
