Bug#757988: kfreebsd: troubles with dhcp (configuration going away)

[Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org>]

Package: debian-installer
Version: 20140802
Severity: important

Hi,

I know this is tracked as #757711 but I'm trying to get a comprehensive
list of issues affecting kfreebsd-*, along with possible solutions for
those using images.

So, using debian-jessie-DI-b1-kfreebsd-amd64-netinst.iso with DHCP, an
error is shown right after the mirror selection, since network
configuration obtained through DHCP is lost at this point. It would be
nice to make sure what triggered this issue before blindly applying a
patch against netcfg IMHO.

Switching to vt2 (alt-f2), and typing this allowed me to resume my
(kvm-based) installation test:

  ifconfig re0 10.0.2.15 255.255.255.0
  route add default 10.0.2.2

(I hope my notes are correct on this, readers should get the idea
anyway.)

Mraw,
KiBi.
