It turns out that it's /etc/rc.network ... not very user-friendly. ;-) I think, basically, you can get away with this in your /etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_ed0="DHCP" Obviously, that ``ed0'' needs to be replaced with the name of your ethernet device. I haven't done this before, so don't be too disappointed if it doesn't work. Also note that you probably need quite a recent 3.x machine (any time after 1999/09/03). Oh, and you need to have an /etc/dhclient.conf . It can often be empty, and the dhclient.conf(5) manpage is huge, so try creating an empty one first. Good luck! Ciao, Sheldon.
