The only route that was an issue was the local route to the NFS server.
Somehow a netbooted x86 system can complete the configuration, but
non-x86 dies as soon as 'dhcpcd' (or the earlier 'dhclient') touches
the interface.  Interface is downed, root file system is gone, can't
bring interface back up, game over.

I've got a fresh build of -current just installed for the netbooted
Lemote YeeLoong.  Need to give it a whirl with "dhcp" in the
"ifconfig.rtk0" file and see if the situation has changed.
