dhclient problems in 5.3-RELEASE

[David Gerard]

This afternoon, I set up a new machine with 5.3-RELEASE. Started with three
5.3-beta5 floppies, told it I wanted 5.3-RELEASE from a CD-R, installed
minimal base, man pages and ports, created two users.

On reboot, I ran dhclient and it completely failed to get an IP address.
But I know the cable is good and the DHCP server is working, because I
booted the box in question into Windows and it grabbed an IP just fine. So
where do I start on diagnosing what's up with this installation?
