This doesn't work (anymore). Once the root partition is NFS mounted you
can't change the IP# of the interface used for the NFS - even if you
reassign the "old" IP#.

See http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=12096
for a longer discussion (I stumbled over this last year myself).

If you just want dhclient do configure DNS and routes and so on but
not change the interface adress you can put
	"alias ifconfig true"
(which makes ifconfig a no-op) in /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks.
