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.
