The /bsd I tried, and which works is an older 5.1-current, but I also just tried booting the 5.2-beta /bsd, which also works. Its only the 5.2-beta bsd.rd which doesn't seem to detect a link on the interface. I just tried to set an IP manually, and it just worked: Available network interfaces are: le0.
