I happen to use Mediaone's service with NetBSD. The program you're looking
to use is dhclient, but the documentation for the config file is basically
non-existant. Here's what you do:
Add this to /etc/netstart.local
dhclient sn0
Substitute ae0 if that's your ethernet driver. There is a problem when you
have multiple ethernet interfaces, but most likely that's not your
situation. If it is, let me know and I'll tell you the fix.
Ok, now you need an /etc/dhclient.conf file. Mine is attached, which I
use with Mediaone. Remember to customize this as needed, ie: change the
hostname stuff and the ethernet interface. And that should be it.
/etc/netstart.local will automatically fire up dhclient, which will handle
everything. This took me a while to figure out myself, so I'll be happy to
answer any questions you have. ;)
