You need to add options NETATALK into your kernel config file, and recompile your kernel. Before doing that, though, you will need to get the appletalk kernel patches from ftp.freebsd.org and apply them. 2.2.5-RELEASE's kernel has broken AppleTalk support as distributed. Since you have no net access where you are, I'll include the appropriate kernel patch in a seperate email that won't go to the list. Use if you want to (if you trust me). I promise it's the real thing, but I'll leave the decision up to you.
