After "sh /etc/netstart" I get : hw.bus.devctl_disable: 1-> 1 (then the lo0 printou) dhclient already running?

I edited rc.conf and changed the line [ifconfig_sk0="DHCP"] to [ifconfig_sk0="UP"] and created /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rc.local to read ifconfig_sk0="DHCP" When I did this I could never i initialize DHCP. Even sysinstall failed. as a side note, during boot, the sequence delays for over a minute during starting DHClient. It can't initialize sk0 but sysinstall can.
