Yes, it is still the problem in 4.4-RELEASE. The work around is to add
following lines into the /etc/rc.conf (for sk NIC):

------/etc/rc.conf
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Fri Dec 21 12:05:49 2001
# Created: Fri Dec 21 12:05:49 2001
# Enable network daemons for user convenience.
# Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
# This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
ifconfig sk0	# kldload /modules/if_sk.ko does not work
sleep 2
ifconfig_sk0="inet xxx.yyy.zzz.hhh netmask 255.255.255.0 media 1000baseSX
mediaopt
-------end of /etc/rc.conf

This is for sk NIC. I have not re-tested the ti NIC yet. I will try the 
ti NIC sometime next week. 
The kernel is the default one (GENERIC); the current kernel is a different
one, but I do not think they make any difference, and I will confirm it
when I test the ti driver next week.
Below is the booting message.
