>Description:
When using dhcp to configure ethernet devices and not specifying
"network_interfaces" so it defaults to "auto", rc.network using
ifconfig -l to get the list of ethernet devices since fxp0 is < lo0.
dhclient is run on fxp0 before lo0 is instantiated.  So making the 
route of fxp0 to 127.0.0.1 makes things go screwy and you get the
following messages and break amd.

arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 127.0.0.1rt
arplookup 127.0.0.1 failed: could not allocate llinfo
