Thanks for the replies.

Is this what you mean Joerg?

I discovered when copying dhcpcd's output from the console for my 
previous email I'd missed some that had disappeared "under" the 
previous menu.  In case it's helpful, this is from /tmp/sysinst.log:

Curiously, I tried the 6.0.1 CD on another PC with an fxp0 NIC today 
and it worked.  The cards aren't the same model though.  dmesg output 
for the PC which doesn't work:

fxp0 at pci1 dev 8 function 0: Intel PRO/100 VE Network Controller 
with 82562ET/EZ (CNR) PHY (rev. 0x81)
fxp0: interrupting at irq 12

inphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

dmesg output for the PC that works:

fxp0 at pci6 dev 8 function 0: Intel i82801FB LAN Controller (rev. 0x01)
fxp0: interrupting at ioapic0 pin 20
fxp0: Ethernet address 00:13:20:4f:fa:f3
inphy0 at fxp0 phy 1: i82562ET 10/100 media interface, rev. 0
inphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

Hm, I see the inphy0 is the same for both though--does that mean the 
NICs are in fact the same?

I thought I'd try using the sk0 NIC in the problem PC and found it 
doesn't work under 6.0.1:

from dmesg:

skc0 at pci1 dev 1 function 0: irq 11
skc0: interrupt moderation is 0 us
skc0: DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter rev. (0x9)
sk0 at skc0 port A: Ethernet address 00:22:b0:6b:60:49

makphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseT, 
1000baseT-FDX, auto

from sysinst.log:
executing: /sbin/ifconfig sk0 media autoselect
executing: /sbin/dhcpcd -d -n sk0
dhcpcd[49]: version 5.5.4 starting
dhcpcd[49]: Kernel is not configured to accept IPv6 RAs
dhcpcd[49]: sk0: using hwaddr 00:22:b0:6b:60:49
dhcpcd[49]: sk0: executing `/libexec/dhcpcd-run-hooks', reason PREINIT
dhcpcd[49]: sk0: executing `/libexec/dhcpcd-run-hooks', reason NOCARRIER
dhcpcd[49]: sk0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd[49]: timed out
dhcpcd[49]: allowing 8 seconds for IPv4LL timeout
dhcpcd[49]: timed out
executing: /sbin/ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1

But sk0 did work using the 5.2 CD.

It seems the best idea is to stick with 5.x on this PC.
