If it's for install, move your modem over temporarily. If it's after install recompile your kernel, adding the sio2 device back in. > 2) How do I hook up my 32-bit TCP/IP ethernet??

Of course you will. FreeBSD uses the reference implementation for TCP/IP! DNS: Edit /etc/resolv.conf. IP: Edit /etc/sysconfig and /etc/hosts. > 3) I haven't been able to find the X-Windows system..

If you need to add something that way, boot your boot floppy and mount the filesystems and don't NEWFS them. THen you can add stuff nondestructively. I HIGHLY suggest checking out the Handbook and FAQ at http://www.freebsd.org.
