Are there multiple ethernet devices in the system? Normally if you're using pxeboot for diskless booting, there's no need for the kernel or userspace to use DHCP: they inherit the DHCP settings provided by the pxeboot loader using the kernel environment. When using PXE, there's no need for any special kernel options, etc, you should just be able to use GENERIC.=20 Robert N M Watson FreeBSD Core Team, TrustedBSD Projects robert@fledge.watson.org Senior Research Scientist, McAfee Research
