>Description:
Hello,

I've installed 7.1-RELEASE on two machines repeatedly over the past few weeks both AMD64 and i386 ports.

I noticed that when you say "no" to "Do you want to try to configure IPV6" then then the device doesn't get configured for IPV4 either. I had to edit rc.conf and add the interface. This is a problem when installing if you need to grab stuff from NFS, for example.

If you answer "yes" then the installer does start a DHCP client and configure the interface properly.
>How-To-Repeat:
Answer "no" when asked if you want IPV6
