>Description:
I was trying to install FreeBSD 4.1 over the internet. As I don't have a fixed IP address, I started the installation
using DHCP. But the installation does not proceed after that. There is a message "Scanning for DHCP servers" and installion
is stalled there. 

It is NOT that there are no DHCP servers available. When I boot my system in win95, I do get the IP address and other information.
(I managed to install using a fixed IP address; Also there are no incompatibility issue between the server and the client
as the system is currently up with an IP address from the DHCP server)
>How-To-Repeat:
Start the installation of 4.1 through FTP method using DHCP.

State-Changed-Why:  
I'm pretty sure that you need to give us more info here. 
Could you send dmesg(8) output for the affected system so that 
the maintainer can see what network card you were using and 
can confirm that the network card was actually probed properly?

 Hi,
 
 	The network was indeed probed without any problems. I found
 something strange yesterday. After I changed /etc/rc.conf to use DHCP &
 rebooted it the first time, the system came up fine. When I rebooted it
 yesterday evening (after I filed the PR), the system did not come up
 (after displaying something related to 'hostname' while booting). I left
 it and today morning, I found that the system is up.
 
 Regards,
 Muthu

State-Changed-When: Fri Nov 10 10:01:40 PST 2000 
State-Changed-Why:  
It sounds like a sysinstall problem, not dhclient one.  Since 4.1 isn't the 
current release, I'm closing this unless someone sees the same problem 
with 4.2 {beta,RC,release}.
