If you don't see ethernet, it's very likely that either your ethernet adapter was not detected or you don't recognized it. If you're more familiar with Linux than BSD, first thing to note is that ethernet adapters do not take the form of "eth#" as they do in Linux. There are different identifications for different drivers. ed# and fxp# are some often used drivers, although many others are available. Look to see if one of those is an option. If not, make sure your card is working and supported. If everything is OK there, use the visual userconfig (when the install program first boots) to make sure the settings for your ethernet card are correct. Also remove any listings for hardware that isn't in your system, as conflicts can cause hardware to not be detected.
