If that is true, then you booted the wrong OS. The installation CD is the so called "ramdisk kernel", bsd.rd, which keeps a completely self-contained filesystem structure in RAM. The installed firmware is in /etc/firmware on your hard drive.
(Yes, with admin skills you could mount your root partition and copy the files from the /<mountpoint>/etc into the filesystem in RAM, but such things usually cause the RAM filesystem to run out of memory.)
Boot the standard OS, where the firmware is installed, and try:
# dhclient bwi0
If that works, then all you need do is create an /etc/hostname.bwi0 file -- see FAQ 6 and the hostname.if(5) man page for instructions.
