Jan 4, 2013 snapshot fails with DHCP
I just tried to use the latest amd64 snapshot to prepare for an upgrade to our firewall. We use DHCP during initial installation to PXE boot and perform the install at which point we configure through site52.tgz. However, during installation and after boot DHCP reports the following error Cannot lstat() '/var/db/dhclient.leases.bge0': No such file or directory it does this for all interfaces and DHCP fails to configure the interface. This does not happen with 5.2-RELEASE. -- James A.

Yes, I am aware of that, but it doesn't work by default and that doesn't help if you reboot and you are not at the console. It's a bug and so I am reporting it. ;) -- James A.
