Please post full unedited dmesg from bsd.rd and from bsd.
Since you have no network with bsd, but you do have network with
bsd.rd, you can write a file with bsd e.g. "dmesg > /dmesg.bsd",
then boot bsd.rd and interrupt the installation. Mount the disk,
e.g. "mount /dev/wd0a /mnt", then you can run dhclient manually
("dhclient fxp0"). Save the bsd.rd dmesg too, use ftp to upload
them both to another machine.
Alternatively just use serial console if you have the right
cable.
