If your network is coming up active after a dhcpcd eth0, then it looks
like all that you have to do now is to edit /etc/conf.d/net script.

With your favorite editor modify the following line so that it is not
commented.

iface_eth0="dhcp"

Save and close the file and then add net.eth0 to the default runlevel by
running as root;

rc-update add net.eth0 default

If you also want sshd to start at boot time you can do this by adding it
to the default runlevel as well by;

rc-update add sshd default

I hope that this helps you out,

Networking is not starting at boot. As root I can dhcpcd eth0 to get a
dhcp address. I have a 3com 3c920 (3c905x compatible) nic.

My guess is I don't have the proper drivers loading at boot time, just a
guess. So I went into the kernel looking for the correct NIC to select:
