Strange... stupid question: you're sure that your DHCP server hands out 
the necessary information for /etc/resolv.conf (nameserver IPs, maybe 
DNS domain name)?

In the 5 seconds countdown before booting, interrupt by pressing any key 
and run "consdev com0" (or com1, or whatever), then "boot". The rest 
should go via com0/1/whatever.

I've wondered about that, too, but I have no idea where that comes from.
I wouldn't expect things to work when running dhclient a second time (i.e. 
the first time is on g4u boot), as it's running as daemon in the 
background already, I'd just expect some errors.

No.
