Durring the install there is a "emergency holographic shell"
available on one of the other virtual consoles. Probaly under the
F3 key. From there you can run ifconfig -a to see what the installer
has done to your interfaces.
Moving files between FreeBSD and say Linux or Win98 can be done
via the floppy using the mtools from the ports collection, or by
simply mounting a msdos file system under any os and copying them to that
partition.
Don't worry `bout both nics appearing on the same IRQ that's normal for
PCI. You will need to know which one is the one that points to the
internet though. looking at the manual pages for the dc and ed devices
could help
