This means that name services aren't configured properly. I think you
should get the IP interface working first, and then worry about that.
(It's entirely possible that name services aren't working _because_
the interface isn't getting configured correctly.)

Are both of those files empty? Try:
cat /etc/hostname.vfe0
cat /etc/dhcp.vfe0
Assuming they are empty, as they should be, and would be after
sys-unconfig and selecting DHCP, something is going strange with that
driver or with DHCP itself. Try doing this (as root) after the system
boots:
# ifconfig vfe0 unplumb
# pkill dhcpagent
# ifconfig vfe0 plumb
# /sbin/dhcpagent -d3 -v -f &
# ifconfig vfe0 dhcp start
That should spew a great deal of debug information about DHCP activity
to your terminal, and may reveal what's going wrong.
If at all possible, please copy and paste the debug information
_exactly_, without modification, in any replies.
(You can also omit "-f &" from dhcpagent, and it'll syslog using
daemon.debug. If you know how to redirect that to a file, that'll
probably be easier to handle.)
