Cool, works:

# cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by dhcpcd from bm0
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
domain causeuse.org
nameserver 127.0.0.1
# /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line
#

A minor nit, though - when you start dhcpcd on a specific interface, the
rc.d script fails to pick up the pid file:

# /etc/rc.d/dhcpcd status
dhcpcd is not running.
# /etc/rc.d/dhcpcd start
Starting dhcpcd.
dhcpcd: dhcpcd already running on pid 13901 (/var/run/dhcpcd-bm0.pid)
# pgrep dhcpcd
13901
#

Thanks you!
