Rogers@Home expects you to send your hostname with your DHCP
request.  But, sysinstall doesn't let you set up a hostname for your
interface, so Rogers' DHCP server never respond to your queries.

AFAIK, the only way around this is to download FreeBSD to another machine
on your LAN and then install from the local copy (hand-configuring your
NIC) and then set up the Rogers@Home stuff after.
