Choose "Live CD". Root is mounted read-only. /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink to /tmp/bsdinstall_etc/resolv.conf. The directory /tmp/bsdinstall_etc does not exist. You must manually create /tmp/bsdinstall_etc/. Seems this directory should be created by the live CD? >How-To-Repeat: Run dhclient. Interface gets an IP address. resolv.conf is not created, so no DNS. If you manually create & populate the /tmp/bsdinstall_etc/resolv.conf >Fix: mkdir /tmp/bsdinstall_etc at some point in the live CD startup. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
