The problem reported earlier, whereby the default installation does not 
provide for DHCP configuration of interfaces (as 4.5 does), can be resolved 
by placing in /etc/rc.conf:

ifconfig_xxx="DHCP"

BUT, you cannot have any options such as dhcp_program, etc., as it will 
fail.  This can be duplicated consistently with new installations, on 5.0 
using the latest DP1 ISO image.
