Not currently.  You might try 'borrowing' the IP address your machine is
assigned normally for a short time.  Or ask your network adminstrator for

Try hitting ALT-F2 and see what went wrong.  It's probably related to your
above question.  Make sure the files are in C:\FREEBSD (it MUST be a
primary partition!!) and the .INF files are there with the distribution
