Hi all and thanks so much for Unattended! I'm a longtime UNIX admin and recently started a new admin job at a mainly Windows shop...talk about a fish out of water. Anyway deploying Unattended has impressed my employer and made me look good :)
Now about this DHCP problem, I have seen this exact same behavior Ryan reports, in my case on old Dell laptops using pcmcia cards for networking. The solution I found is...after you get dumped to the shell prompt simply execute /etc/master This starts up the unattended config script again getting you a DHCP lease and continuing on as normal. I don't understand why running master a second time works but it does.
