I assume "R10" is actually rl0, indicating that the Ethernet card is a Realtek based part (see man rl). You need to put together a valid config file for that one, /etc/hostname.rl0, with appropriate contents using your favorite text editor (mg and vi are in the base system). Reading at least man hostname.if and http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html is a really good idea at this point. Most likely you need a file that consists of a single line, either dhcp for a simple dhcp setup, or for a fixed address and a specific link speed something like (lifted from man hostname.if) inet 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.255 description "Bob's uplink" in which case you will also need to add useful content to /etc/resolv.conf (and likely /etc/hosts) for name resolution to work plus possibly a few other wrinkles such as enabling forwarding if it's a gateway you're building, and so on. The best place to start is to read the relevant parts of the FAQ and the man pages. OpenBSD documentation is both accessible and useful, and if you're still stuck some of us have written supplementary docs that are not that hard to find. Or come back here, reasonable questions usually generate somewhat useful answers. -- Peter N. M.
