In message <5.0.2.1.0.20010411164359.00a63880@mx01.mailsurf.com>you write:

}But my interface has no ip after boot!
}So dhclient needs to be invoked.

if you are booting via bootp/pxe then the loader will have placed in the 
environment some info. see kenv(1), or before loading, type show.

look in /etc/rc.diskless1, it will try and figure out the interface and set
some variables so that rc.network can do the rest. do you get a message, like
 Interface exp0 IP-Address 10.0.0.1 Broadcast ... ?

as far as i know, you dont't need dhclient if you are booting diskless, unless
there is other info you need, such as gateway, dns server, etc.
