On my i386 and amd64 diskless clients, I can use 'dhcpcd' to complete network configuration.
On non-x86 diskless clients (evbmips-mips64el, sparc, macppc), I cannot do this because as soon as 'dhcpcd' takes the interface down, the client begins incurring NFS errors since the network is down. Is perhaps the working set not all resident before 'dhcpcd' begins manipulating the interface? I seem to recall that 'dhcpcd' used to work for non-x86 diskless systems back when netbsd-5 was new. It stopped sometime before netbsd-6 was tagged. I don't really know when. I just punted to purely static configuration on the affected systems. -- |/"\ John D.
