The /etc/init.d/autoconfig script says it's going to broadcast for IP on device but doesn't do it because it checks for the following .pid file: if [ -f /var/run/dhcpcd-${nics}.pid ] .. do dhcpd .. fi This file obviously doesn't exist during boot, I think it was meant to check if the file does not exist? see line 516: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/livecd-tools.git;a=blob;f=init.d/autoconfig;h=7511366bbcedf9cc03a67f03b6f5db23bb4e78ab;hb=HEAD

Also update /var/run -> /run while we're here.

Thanks for the bug report, and sorry it took literally 8 years to add one character.
