second attempt DHCP failure

[jov0]

I apologize for the lack of clarity.

The first screen shot is taken right after I plug in the network cable while it is waiting for link up. So it detects the link up as expected. I took it simply because of the interesting point that if I delay plugging the network cable in and see the 'waiting for link up' dialog, and then I connect the cable and it starts the autoboot/dhcp then it never boots up like shown in the second and third screen shots.

I included the second screen shot in the event that any of the INTEL debug messages such as the link status right before the autoboot starts were of note.

The third is simply watching the autoboot time out and fail.

And as a control I booted the computer up with media connected and it booted up without issue. The problem only occurs when there is a delay such as a media link up delay, or the first DHCP requests fails and it tries to loop it a second time.
