Nit: that last command should be "dhcp start".  Take a look at the
ifconfig(1M) description for "auto-dhcp".

Using the old-style interface, those commands would be made "permanent"
(i.e., effective at boot time) by doing this:

	touch /etc/hostname.$IF
	touch /etc/dhcp.$IF

where "$IF" is the name of the interface in question (e.g., e1000g0).
