Look in the book index for "DHCP".

The right way to do this is just to remove /etc/rc.conf (that's
how it was before you started this whole expedition).

If you look at the very bottom of /etc/defaults/rc.conf, you'll
see what's causing the problem.  It's sourcing itself over, and
over, and over, and over, and over, and over....  Thankfully it
hits a limit and quits.

Remove /etc/rc.conf, and then start over again.
