OK, I tried your advice:
FreeBSD 4.8 PRERELEASE #2 kernel boots and since dhcp fails
I only get the local loopback:

>Routing tables

>Internet:
>Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire

I add the route as your advise and it add the net gateway
># route add -net 10.0.0.0 -interface xl0
>add net 10.0.0.0: gateway xl0
># netstat -nr

Now I configure my card with the assigned address
and it added it
># ifconfig xl0 inet 209.122.66.XXX netmask 255.255.255.0
># netstat -nr
>Routing tables

>209.122.66 link#1 UC 0 0 xl0

Finally I try and ping the assigned DHCP server (ie cable modem) and
I get no route to host. What is needed to associate the 10 network
gateway with 209.122.66.XXX address assigned to my machine???
># ping 10.17.47.37

I also tried it using 10.17.47.37 as the route add -net and reversed the
order of the route and ifocnfig command, same result.
Thanks for any help/handholding.
