That is probably where the network boot question is coming from. You probably dont need it. I just configured a bridging firewall using FreeBSD 4.5. Works great as long as the NIC's are capable of being placed in promiscuous mode. I wouldnt bet folding money on that ISA NIC being able to do that. You will need to configure the kernel for ipfw, etc. And check man 4 bridge. There are some snmp sysctl values that need setting.
