Most basic, you would have ``network_interfaces="lo0 fxp0"'' as usual,
but no "ifconfig_fxp0="inet ...." line.
Rather you would have a ``/etc/start_if.fxp0'' file with:
/sbin/dhcpc fxp0
sleep 10
in it. If you want to assign your own hostname, you may continue to do
so in the normal manner. If you use ``dhcpc -n fxp0'', dhcpc will do
``hostname <...>'' with the hostname returned by the DHCP server.
If you want to specify your /etc/resolv.conf file, you may do so. Or use
``dhcp -r fxp0'' to create one for you.

You will get "no route to host" type messages.
