>Description:
I got this error on boot:
======================================================================
Doing initial network setup:
 hostname.
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can't assign requested address
dhclient: New IP Address(ed0): 192.168.1.1
dhclient: New Subnet Mask (ed0): 255.255.255.0
dhclient: New Broadcast Address(ed0): 192.168.1.255
dhclient: New Routers: 192.168.1.3
======================================================================

It apperas about 4 times for every 5 boots. And sometimes it works Ok.
If I have "hostanem="lev"" in my /etc/rc.conf fille, I got this error too, but hostname have been set Ok. If here is no "hostname" in rc.conf, error appears, and there is nor hostname ((Amnesiac) in login prompt).

All my network configuration is one line:
ifconfig_ed0="DHCP"

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to boot with DHCP client.
