	FreeBSD 5.2.1-RC i386

>Description:
	FreeBSD 5.2.1-RC i386 installation floppies failed to load
	following modules (it complains itself):

		if_pcn
		if_vr
		if_ste
		if_xl
		if_ed
		if_bge
		if_re
		if_wb
		if_rl
		if_sis
		if_dc
		if_bfe
		if_aue
		if_sf
	   and
		if _fxp

	So, to use other NIC from third floppy (drivers.flp), for example,
	if_fi, then host name lookup is too fast (less than 0.1 second :-).
	ti-based NICs usually take a few seconds to come up (link up).
	Usually, host name lookup waits for quite long time, where 5.2.1-RC
	installation seems do not wait. After configuring the NIC, then
	do nslookup and immediately says:
		"not able to resolve host name " 
				OK
	It is not ok for anything now. Al least, here needs a retry button 
	to give another chance for resolving the name. If going back the
	Menu to try again, the NIC is configured down and up, the same
	problem will repeat again, so there is no way to install 5.2.1-RC.

		
>How-To-Repeat:
	See Description.
>Fix:

	 Need to give a longer time for resolving host name;
	or
	 Provide a retry button for redo host name lookup before
	tear down the NIC configuration.

still exists in a more recent FreeBSD version, such as 6.3 or 7.0-RC1?

 I need a week or two to set up a test bed. Once it is done, I will get 
 back to you.

 Retested on 6.3-Release and problem remains.
 
 After installed 6.3-R from a CD and went to post configuration -> 
 network -> interface,
 pick ti0 and choose DHCP, nothing happened and NIC board lights are off.
 
 Altr-F4 to goto the console, ifconfig showed ti0 is inactive.
 Typed in "ifconfig ti0 up", then board board light became green, and NIC 
 is active now.

 Both 6.3-R and 7.0-R have the same problem.
 
 The fix should be simple, I just do not know where in the installatin 
 process to look at.
 
 What needed to fix it is to have "ifconfig ti0 ... up" -- make it UP.  
 Maybe something more, but
 what looks like is the installation only does "ifconfig ti0 IP/MASK",  
 because after installed
 from CDROM, I saw IP and MASK are set, but no "UP" show in ifconfig output.
 After type in "infconfig ti0 up", then NIC starts to work.
