>Description:
Netbooting, aka PXE booting, shows during kernel load that it's getting all the DHCP/ TCP/IP parameters, but the default gateway is not set (or passed) on further so the OS can get outside the subnet. See repeat and *workaround* to see clarity.
>How-To-Repeat:
remove all ifconfig variables from rc.conf, remove all ifconfig files from /etc (so a disked-system won't have any network connectivity). Boot from PXE, the green output lists the IP, subnet, gateway and DNS being received from DHCP. Check your routing table post-boot (netstat -rnf inet). No default gateway is set.
>Fix:
**WORKAROUND**
apply the ifconfig_ifX in rc.conf, or the ifconfig.ifX in /etc to re-obtain the DHCP settings.
