^^^^^ N1000 compatible? ^ is a bit odd since
7 is also used by lpt0 unless you disable support for this in the kernel.
Ah I see you were mentioning it.
You'd better choose 2 (9), 5, 10,11(!caution, SCSI controllers live there),12.

/etc/myname should contain your hostname
/etc/hosts put your IP hostname in there (the usual way)
/etc/netstart put your correct ifconfig line there. There
are versions of FreeBSD that look for a file
/etc/hostname.ed0 (or ed1). Put the args of an
appropriate ifconfig command into that file.
route -n add default 157.89.8.64
If you want bind lookup create a file /etc/resolv.conf containing
domain acs.eku.edu
nameserver 157.89.?.?
And last:
/etc/host.conf defines the lookup order of name resolution.

Your mileage may vary depending on the version of FreeBSD you are installing :-)
