dc driver uses the miibus code, make sure you have that enabled
on your kernel.
There is nothing needed in "sysinstall", a device probe ought to
catch it IF the miibus is enabled in your kernel config.....
Sorry, I'm late on this discussion, if I've missed important
points, please forgive....I just hadn't seen this point
mentioned.

Yes, that is what I tried to do but my interface doesn't come up in
the
list, only plip, and com 1 come up, not dc0.
Thanks,

isnt is /stand/sysinstall, post install config, network, pick yer
interface,
answer yes to the dhcp popup, thats it?
BTW, if it asks you if you want to activate now, that typically will
not get
you the new parameters on the interface, youll need to either
ifconfig it
down and then up, or reboot as a quik& dirty way.
