I'd like some info about configuring interfaces
with PicoBSD. I'm using the machine as a
router with an ethernet connection to a workstation
and a ppp connection to the Internet. If I were
using Linux I'd use a set of commands like;

# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
# ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
# route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
# route add default ppp0

In Linux the first ethernet device found is eth0,
the second is eth1, etc. What is the convention in
BSD? What is the correct syntax for the above commands
in BSD? Are there any other differences between BSD
and Linux I should be aware of? Also I tried using
'netstat -r' to look at the routing table but the
command is not included. What's a replacement?
