There was a problem with the dhcpcd program which was that it was
compiled for i686 processors (Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium IV, and
Athlon).  The net result of this error is that dhcpcd won't work on
386, 486, Pentium, Pentium Pro, K6, or K6-2 processors.  This bug was
fixed in May, and so the dhcpcd that's included in recent nightly
builds should work fine on any 386 or better processor (please let us
know if that's not the case).
