Cant get DHCP working after Stage3 Install

[wh33t]

Hey guys, I finally, FINALLY, FINALLY got gentoo installed on my amd box. The install for the most part went well. Except I cant figure out how to do two things.

1.) Make my Gentoo box boot with DHCP
Could someone please post the text I need to put into my /etc/conf.d/net file.

I've done the rc-update net.eth0 default already. I'm pretty sure I just have the dhcp code wrong.

2.) I cant make my gentoo boot in vesafb mode (or what ever its called) so all I gots is this ugly dos looking window. So if someone could tell me what to do. That would just complete my evening.
From my understanding I have to add some append variable into my /etc/lilo.conf, which I have done. But I cant seem to get it work, if you've got your gentoo booting to console log in, and have vesa mode enabled. Please post your lilo.conf .

Thanks guys.

I use grub, but the append line is the same:

kernel /bzImage-2.6.11.6 ro root=/dev/hda6 vga=792 resume=/dev/hda3 selinux=0

vga=792 will give you 1024x768 (I think 24 bit). If you want something else, see http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10

My Append Line looks completely different lol. Maybe I did something wrong. Heres what the majority of my lilo.conf looks like:

image=/boot/kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r5
label=gentoo
read-only
root=/dev/ram0
append="init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_boot=/dev/hda3 udev"
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.11-gentoo-r5

so my question is. Where do I add in the video line?
