So is my home Mac.
DHCPCD asks for an IP-address for LinuxPPC.
I have set up ethertap and IP Masquerading for doing Mol IP-Networking.:
netdev: tap0 -sheep
in molrc.
The drawback is MacOS/MOL can't do original AppleTalk but only IP-Appletalk.

I use ISC DHCPCD and I have no /et/dhcpc/config file for OPTIONS,
but I see in the man page that they can be given
in the command line, so I'll try. Thank you for the trick.
