Thanks for the responses, guys. Erik, I will give your suggestion a shot, although I'm pretty sure I've tried that in the past with no success. Leon, I know I need those settings in /etc/rc.conf, but I've got to get the OS installed first, no? :) I actually have been running FreeBSD for some time and connecting to the net via Rogers. That's easy enough to do. I basically just want to try the FTP install. Anyway, I'll look into it a little more. Thanks again. Matt >I've done it-- but not through DHCP.
