Do you hear people say they feel completly stupid becuase of what the problem was often? Well if you don't you do now. After paying better attention to my startup log a little prase saying no carrier stuck out this time. I checked my new switch that I bought for my new setup and it looked fine. But something didn't feel write so I started at the switch for about 20 seconds when I relized my switch shares the uplink port with port 5 and that happens to be the port I plugged the FreeBSD system into. So I moved the cable to a different port and viola. Thanks as always for everyones advice. I learn something new every time I talk to you guys. netstat -rn is pretty cool. Now I will just need to read the man page to figure out what those flags mean.
