I know that currently one can request a DHCP lease when configuring the
network interfaces in sysinstall, but that functionality does not seem to
exist during a scripted install.

Reading sysinstall.8 (which, incidentally, does not appear to be installed
in the correct place during a make world), it appears that the installation
target's hostname, IP address and other networking information must be
manually supplied by the installation script before making a mediaSetFTP or
mediaSetNFS call.

Is it possible we'll see a future version of sysinstall any time soon that
will allow scripted installation targets to get their network profile from
DHCP?

I'm running 4.x-STABLE.

Thanks for your help,
