Well, I did what the previous poster suggested, and upon reboot, it
still didn't come up.

I ran /etc/rc.d/netif manually, and it said it couldn't find
/etc/network.subr, so I copied that over manually, rebooted, and the
interfaces still didn't start. But, if I run /etc/rc.d/netif manually,
it starts just fine now! Yes, the file has execute permissions for all.

Anyone know what's up with that? Can anyone give me the rundown on
how/what FreeBSD does at boot time to start the network interface? Maybe
something is supposed to be running that script, but isn't? Another
missing script?

Thanks,
--Charlie
