This should be like this:
interface "ed1" {
send dhcp-client-identifier "CR103675-A";
}
It's the client-id that you want to send, not the host-name. (Make
substitutions for your interface name, and your client number).

This is not necessary.

That's "de0 lo0" (letter 'l' as opposed to number '1', and no
comma). Also, you don't have to set your hostname to that ugly
"crxxx..." thing.

Are you sure that the NIC driver is loaded? What does "ifconfig -a"
say? Is there any mention of the card in "dmesg" output?
