OK, I tried your advice:

  FreeBSD 4.8 PRERELEASE #2 kernel boots and since dhcp fails
  I only get the local loopback:

    ># netstat -nr
    >Routing tables

  I add the route as your advise and  it add the net gateway

  Now I configure my card with the assigned address
  and it added it

    ># netstat -nr

  Finally I try and ping the assigned DHCP server (ie cable modem) and
  I get no route to host.  What is needed to associate the 10 network
  gateway with 209.122.66.XXX address assigned to my machine???
    ># ping 10.17.47.37

  I also tried it using 10.17.47.37 as the route add -net and reversed the
  order of the route and ifocnfig command, same result.

Thanks for any help/handholding.
