Try running it from the command line with: /etc/rc.d/dhcpd start and
then you can pipe or redirect the message (or scroll up if youre using a
terminal emulator in X). What does your dhcpd.conf file look like? The
system logs are typically in /var/log/messages check the end of that
file to see if anything is being reported. There is a good example of
setting this up on the NetBSD documentation page somewhere in the
networking part.
