Is there also a problem? If your network interface is not up, you
couldn't use SSH anyway.

If you really want to use SSH to localhost, change
RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING in /etc/conf.d/rc.

No, it does not. It does explain that sshd cannot start because your 
network isn't up. Now you have to find out why the network doesn't 
get started.

Your problem is not that net.eth0 is not trying to start, it is failing to
start. The sshd init script includes "need net" so it tries to bring up a
network connection if none is present. Your problem is that net.eth0 is
failing. What does "/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start" return?
