I've got a b72 zfs boot install server setup and successfully used it 
to load another machine using Loris' pfinstall.

When I tried to load a w1100z box however, the boot image is 
successfully loaded, I see the install menu and pick option 4 (console 
text).  A few Seconds later the heartbeat stops and I get the 
following error:

Alarm Clock
ERROR: Unable to configure the network interface
exiting to shell

Running an ifconfig -a from the shell, I see the (bge0) interface up, 
correctly configured with a DHCP address and I'm able to ping other 
machines on the same (install) network!

Any ideas how to proceed past this error message?

PS: tried to resolve the issue by upgrading the w1100z to the latest 
currently available BIOS (supplement iso version 2.5).

Thanks,
