Typically, after your initial install, you don't want to play with sysinstall
again. sysinstall really is overdue for some time out to pasture. =)  You want
to configure your interfaces in /etc/rc.conf. More information about rc.conf
and other related configuration files in /etc can be found at:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/config-tuning.html

You can also read about more advanced networking topics such as gateways and
routing at:
