That's odd if that fixed it.  The net.eth0 script *should*
automatically run dhcpcd if there are no special instructions in
/etc/conf.d/net for the eth0 interface.  You may have some example
setting uncommented that is making it so that during bootup the script
fails.

If it is a problem with the module not loading during bootup, place
e100 in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 to get it autoloaded before
the eth0 interface is started.
