This makes sense, and I can live with it. I guess I'll have to 'forget'
how FreeBSD has always done things in the past and relearn...
Lots of things are very different - just this morning, I found out there
is no 'visual configure'. Only took an hour to figure out why GENERIC was
not finding the Adaptec 1542CF scsi card...
While I'm here, dc(4) is still telling me its ethernet address is
00:00:00:00:00:00 and that there is 'no carrier'. It works fine otherwise.
