We have a network with a windows dhcp server. Few weeks ago dhcpcd did not 
function at the boot, and since them I have to bring it up manually:

$ dhcpcd eth0.

Configuration:
$ rc-update -s
               acpid |      default                  
           alsasound | boot                          
             beagled |      default                  
            bootmisc | boot                          
             checkfs | boot                          
           checkroot | boot                          
               clock | boot                          
         consolefont | boot                          
              cpudyn |      default                  
               cupsd |      default                  
              esound |      default                  
                 gpm |      default                  
                hald |      default                  
            hostname | boot                          
          ivman-user |      default                  
             keymaps | boot                          
          lm_sensors | boot                          
               local |      default nonetwork        
          localmount | boot                          
             modules | boot                          
            net.eth0 |      default                  
              net.lo | boot                          
            netmount |      default                  
           rmnologin | boot                          
               samba |      default                  
           syslog-ng |      default                  
             urandom | boot                          
                usbd |      default                  
          vixie-cron |      default                  
                 xdm |      default                  
              xinetd |      default

The "/etc/conf.d/net" files was initially empty (comments only). Changing to:

$ cat /etc/conf.d/net
# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d.  To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
modules=( "dhcpcd" ) # to select dhclient over dhcpcd
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcp_eth0="nontp nonis"

did not help.

Before the login prompt I get the message:

WARNING:  netmount is scheduled to start when net.eth0 has started.
(and a similar warning for the samba services

Any ideas how to get dhcpcd run at boot?
