>How-To-Repeat:
Try installing NetBSD using sysinst, select the option to configure the network using DHCP in an environment where the DHCP server does not offer a name server
>Fix:
When the DHCP server does not offer this information, create the /etc/resolv.conf file with the server selected in the menu
