Ummm... Well, if you know your way around FreeBSD well enough to find
the problem in /etc/rc.conf, I would think you know how to put the
entry for the second NIC in /etc/rc.conf without using
/stand/sysinstall. And I also would hope you know how to configure an
interface without rebooting, ifconfig(8).

What do you mean by, wanting "to specify a different gateway for the
2nd nic?"
