--- Comment #1 from Allan Jude <allanjude@FreeBSD.org> ---
resetting the IP address always resets the routing table. When the IP that
gives you access to the gateway goes away, the routing entries does too. Then
the IP is readded, and the gateway is added.

This seems to be expected behaviour, as you are asking the installer to please
set my IP address and gateway to these values I entered via the dialog.

So, if we fix it to not remove your resolv.conf, will that solve your problem?

The installer normally assumes / and /etc are read-only, and that
/etc/resolv.conf is already a symlink to /tmp/bsdinstall_etc/resolv.conf

When you are manually configuring the system, are you actually removing that
symlink? or writing to the /tmp destination?
