Actually, /stand/sysinstall is also useful as a post-install configuration
utility.  Simply choose 'Configure' from the main menu.  For example, to
configure network interfaces, choose 'Configure' -> 'Network' -> 'Interfaces'
to setup a network interface.  sysinstall will intelligently edit /etc/rc.conf
for you.
