DHCP should work fine, together with an NFS server.

Did you configure the board exactly as described in the "Preparing your
System for NetBSD installation" section of the installation guide. The
jumper setting (J1 on the MVME167) is important.

ISTR you said your NVRAM battery is dead, in which case you'll probably
need to run "niot" and "env" to configure things correctly.
