System: NetBSD pawn 1.4Z NetBSD 1.4Z (GENERIC) #326: Tue May 30 23:14:08 CDT 2000 scottr@polka:/a/src/sys/arch/mac68k/compile/GENERIC mac68k


>Description:
	When starting up the system, rcorder correctly determines (from
	what it knows) that dhclient should be started late in the process.
	Unfortunately, this means a non-netbooted machine with only one
	DHCP-configured network interface won't be able to start properly.
	Clearly, dhclient needs to run at or around the time that network
	interfaces are configured.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to use dhclient by configuring rc.conf appropriately.  Note
	that many network-related daemons fail because the network
	interface hasn't been configured.

>Fix:
	The attached diff that gets things running again, but is incorrect
	because it causes dhclient to run before systemfs.  This results
	in the loss of dhclient.pid.
