rc.conf all you need.

%ifconfig
------------------------------
rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
inet 192.168.0.254 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
ether 00:0d:88:39:fa:5f
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
------------------------------
#vi /etc/rc.conf
------------------------------
gateway_enable="YES"
hostname="gateway.example.com"
ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.0.254 netmask 255.255.255.0"
------------------------------

man rc.conf

log into Freebsd as root or SU into root.type in 'sysinstall'from there go to configuration, and the rest should be straightforward. you can try this or what the guy above me wrote. I just find 'sysinstall' easier since you don't have to edit anything.
