If you read first before doing something then you would find that I
got stuck before installation - I just inserted CD, kick off DF
and... opsys was in memory but it ended up without IP.

Thank you. The permeation of BSD flavors is unprecedented, isn't
it? ;-)

I thought "because OpenBSD sets were good solution". Period. If DF
takes from other BSDs, why not in this point?

Sometimes I feel like there was another adage - "use it or ditch it
(and get lost)". Just another rude expression dressed in smiley.
