/stand/sysinstall was never intended to be the complete system
administration utility. The one you need for setting up Ethernet
boards is ifconfig. Try this:
# ifconfig -a
lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ep0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.109.197.160 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.109.197.255
ether 00:a0:24:37:0c:bd
ep1: flags=8800<SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
tun0: flags=8150<POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,PROMISC,MULTICAST> mtu 1518
inet 192.109.197.137 --> 192.109.197.211 netmask 0xffffff00
sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552
ppp0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 139.130.136.133 --> 139.130.136.129 netmask 0xffff0000
ppp1: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
Here you see that ep1 has not been configured. You can configure it
with, say,
# ifconfig ep1 <IP address>
See the man page for other parameters. These are what you put in the
variables ifconfig_ep0 and ifconfig_ep1 in /etc/rc.conf. For example,
I have the following (because I keep changing boards):
# Choose one
ifconfig_ep0="inet 192.109.197.137 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_ed1="inet 192.109.197.137 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_ed2="inet 192.109.197.137 netmask 255.255.255.0"

No. There is no correct way to have two default gateways. In
addition, 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 are non-routable addresses. If you
really do have two connections to the net, you're going to have to
think carefully about what traffic you want to go over what gateway.
