The network is good and working and this OpenBSD box is able to grab
an IP address during the initial network configuration during
installation*. I have checked the cables, etc....everything is fine.
Its only when I reboot post install, the network is not found and
consequently no IP is assigned.

* To verify this, I have reinstalled OpenBSD 4.3 multiple times (on
the same computer, same location). _Everytime_, an IP address is
assigned properly during the initial configuration.
