 Sorry for being late, but I thought that I could write this to 
 sysinstall at ...
 
 That is what I wrote, 6 Month ago:
 
 The /etc/resolv.conf is empty.
 
 
 netstat -nr:
 
 Routing tables
 
 Internet:
 Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use  Netif Expire

 On the ALT-F2 screen i get the following lines (I copied the lines by 
 hand):
 
 DHCPDISCOVER on nfe0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
 nfe0: link state changed to UP
 nfe0: link state changed to DOWN
 nfe0: link state changed to UP
 DHCPOFFER from 192.168.10.1
 DHCPREQUEST on nfe0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
 DHCPACK from 192.168.10.1
 bound to 192.168.10.108 -- renewal in 3600 seconds
     -- the following lines appear after I close the "network-screen"  just
     -- before I get the "Cannot resolv hostname ftp.freebsd.org" message
 
 DEBUG: Shutdown called for network device nfe0
 DEBUG: ifconfig nfe0 down
 DEBUG: Deleting default route
 delete net default
 
 
 I tried the same in a VMware machine at work and got the same result.
 
 I have tried the last snapshot:
  
 ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201008/FreeBSD-9.0-CURRENT-201008-amd64-bootonly.iso 
 
 and I got the same results.
 
 The same with the FreeBSD-9.0-CURRENT-201101-amd64-bootonly.iso.
