Which kernel? If you are using a 2.2.x kernel, you should be able to get dhcpcd-sv from "potato" (or the dhcpcd-sv program in the "dhcpcd" package in potato) to run. I'm not completely surprised that you're getting bus errors, I don't think anybody has tested dhcpcd on the Sparc. I have to make a bunch of sparc specific patches to dhcpcd-sv to get it to run without bus errors. (Bus errors are caused by unaligned writes, they don't affect intel machine.)
