Well, if you know your way around FreeBSD well enough to find the problem in /etc/rc.conf, I would think you know how to put the entry for the second NIC in /etc/rc.conf without using /stand/sysinstall. And I also would hope you know how to configure an interface without rebooting, ifconfig(8). What do you mean by, wanting "to specify a different gateway for the 2nd nic?" -- Crist J.
