Hi, I just built kfreebsd-8 from current SVN with those options. As a result, the kernel tried to get IP address during boot via DHCP indefinitely. Luckily kernel.old pointing to kfreebsd-7 does not contain these options ... FWIW, I have the old FreeBSD bootloader, not grub2. So we need such set of options, which builds DHCP/root NFS into kernel, but does not use DHCP/root NFS as a default. Petr
