Bringing up interface eth0 fails.  After I boot up, I tried typing dhcpcd,
and nothing happens... after a few minutes, it times out.  I think the log
says that it failed to receive a DHCP response.  ifconfig shows my ethernet
address (so it's gotta be seeing it....that doesnt't help clarify
things)....but not an IP address.

I tried doing a net install, but it failed to find the file on the server.
LOoks like it was working then, but maybe it wasn't. :( (no dhcp ---> "not
found" errors???)
