I can't really answer your other questions, but this one I can.

DCHP setup is easy.

You edit the file "/etc/defaults/rc.conf".  The lines look a bit like this
when you're finished:
---
dhclient=YES                    # behave as a DHCP client
dhclient_flags="le0"                # blank: config all interfaces
---
I run NetBSD on an old SPARCStation 10, so the "le0" stands for "Lance
Ethernet zero".  I don't know what PC hardware would have there. "eth0",
perhaps?

Anyway, edit that file, reboot, and NetBSD comes up using DHCP.

I have DHCP provided bya Cisco 675 DSL router, my SS-10 works like a charm
behind it.
