You should ask your questions, no matter how newbie-esque, in
freebsd-questions.
Otherwise newbies like me will give potentially wrong/deadly answers
such as this one:
edit or create the file rc.local in your /etc dir... I'm pretty sure
this is the last of the start up scripts to be executed... put your
'ifconfig de0 media 10baseT/UTP' instruction there and will be executed at
boot time. hope that helps.
I'm replying to you and to freebsd-questions, so if this answer is
really bad, someone's likely to catch the error and inform you.

Subject: de0 link down: cable problem?
Howdy,
I have a DEC NIC card instled on my system. Every time that I reboot it
gives me the message:
de0 link down: cable problem?
and I have to type:
ifconfig de0 media 10baseT/UTP
to get rid of the problem.
Is there any way I could load this instruction to a start up file so that
the command is executed every time automatically when the system reboots?
Thanks for your help.
jly
