What version/release of the install media were you using? (both of you?)

What port?

Did you use DHCP to auto-conf the interface at install time?

Please send-pr(1) if you can replicate the results in a controlled
environment. (It works perfectly fine for me on 1.5.2/sparc, and newer
--current snapshots)

The only complaint I had was that /etc/myname was used instead of
hostname=blah in /etc/rc.conf (less 1 line files the better)
