Dhcpd works now when I boot. Thanks to the emailers for the pointers.

Using sis0 for internet and sis[1-3] for local nets was my original plan.
But I think I now know how to make my pci expansion chassis work with 
OpenBSD, so unless I need a *lot* of slots, I will use separate NICs for 
internet and local nets.

BTW, I noticed last week that the 7-slot Magma pci expansion chassis 
was selling for ~$70 on EBay. It cost over $1000 new when I bought 
mine years ago.
