    There was nothing in the /var/db/dhclient.leases and
    the only relevant thing I found in the
    /var/log/messages was this

    May 31 05:02:10 kernel: skc0: <3Com 3C940 Gigabit
    Ethernet> port 0xd800-0xd8ff mem 0xe5800000-0xe5803fff
    irq 18 at device 9.0 on pci0
    May 31 05:02:10 kernel: skc0: 3Com Gigabit LOM
    (3C940)
    May 31 05:02:10 kernel: sk0: <Marvell Semiconductor,
    Inc. Yukon> on skc0
    May 31 05:02:10 kernel: sk0: Ethernet address:
    00:0e:a6:46:f4:d9
    May 31 05:02:10 kernel: e1000phy0: <Marvell 88E1000
    Gigabit PHY> on miibus0
    May 31 05:02:10 kernel: e1000phy0: 10baseT,
    10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseTX-FDX,
    auto

    and

    May 31 05:02:34 dhclient: Can't bind to dhcp address:
    Address already in use
    May 31 05:02:34 dhclient: Please make sure there is
    no other dhcp server
    May 31 05:02:34 dhclient: running and that there's no
    entry for dhcp or
    May 31 05:02:34 dhclient: bootp in /etc/inetd.conf.
    Also make sure you
    May 31 05:02:34 dhclient: are not running HP JetAdmin
    software, which
    May 31 05:02:34 dhclient: includes a bootp server.

    so it looks like the kernel is definitely identifying
    my NIC correctly (I guessed this seeing how I was able
    to install over FTP) but for whatever reason the
    dchlient is no longer working

    I killed the dhclient pid and reran it...both as just
    "dhclient" and "dhclinet -d sk0" both times the
    computer would just sit there with nothing
    happening...no messages no nothing (I let them sit
    there for 10-15 minutes before I killed it)
