I have a few questions about the NetBSD DC setup guide.

"Configure dhcpd to pass the correct information to the Dreamcast. On the
NetBSD machine used for testing purposes, enabling dhcpd was as simple as
adding "dhcpd=YES" to /etc/rc.conf and creating an /etc/dhcpd.conf (<1k)
file containing the necessary information for the DC to know where the root
file system exists. The provided example works for the setup used for this
guide, but final configuration will vary."

For /etc/dhcpd.conf does it mean put dhcpd.conf in the dreamcast's world
/etc directory or in the nfs server's /etc directory?


"Configure nfs shares. The example setup required two nfs shares,
/mnt/exports/dc and /mnt/exports/dcswap. /etc/exports (<1k) was used on the
NetBSD nfs server. Other nfs implementations may require extra
configuration."

I don't understand the purpose of this step, what's it trying to tell me to
do?

This may not be directly related to this guide, but what editor should I use
to create these two files? This may also not be related but what is dhcpd,
is it some type of dhcp program?

Thanks,
Michael
