I know that currently one can request a DHCP lease when configuring the network interfaces in sysinstall, but that functionality does not seem to exist during a scripted install. Reading sysinstall.8 (which, incidentally, does not appear to be installed in the correct place during a make world), it appears that the installation target's hostname, IP address and other networking information must be manually supplied by the installation script before making a mediaSetFTP or mediaSetNFS call. Is it possible we'll see a future version of sysinstall any time soon that will allow scripted installation targets to get their network profile from DHCP? I'm running 4.x-STABLE.
