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.
Which one do you wish to configure? (or 'done') [le0] 
IPv4 address for le0? (or 'dhcp' or 'none') [dhcp] 
Issuing hostname-associated DHCP request for le0.
le0: no link ............. sleeping
Issuing free-roaming DHCP request for le0.
le0: no link ............. sleeping
Available network interfaces are: le0.
