I just finsihed installing 6.3-RC2 on my new amd64 machine[1] (I
installed from disc1).There was one small issue with sysinstall:
when I got to "configure networking", I had to do 'ifconfig re0 up'
from the rescue shell on vty4 before the network interface would work
(I use dhcp).
First I did 'ifconfig re0' - it showed status as "no carrier". after 'ifconfig
re0 up' it showed status as "active".
I had the same problem when installing FreeBSD 7.0-beta4.
I believe this problem is related specifically to some re0 nics, mine
is a:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x81aa1043 chip=0x816810ec
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor'
device = 'RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
Perhaps this workaround should be mentioned in the errata if it isn't fixed
before release?
