There should be a line similar to this in /etc/rc.conf:

ifconfig_de0="inet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0"

Add the approriate media options switch to the end of that:

ifconfig_de0="inet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 media 10baseT/UTP"

If you wish to make the change while the system is running, type:

ifconfig de0 media 10baseT/UTP
