Sorry, but I realy need a fully worked and tested blow by blow example
to do this sort of simple stuff. Oddly, I can manage kernel compiles
and booting to that just fine, I've done that in the past several times,
but I always had the sources from the outset.
have you setup networking?
network interface in /etc/rc.conf
defaultroute in /etc/rc.conf
resolv.conf
I've just checked on my not configured freebsd-5.2.1 which needed
ifconfig rl0 192.168.59.156 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default 192.168.59.64
echo "nameserver 192.168.59.64" >> /etc/resolv.conf
then
ftp -4 ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/
Yes, networking fully setup and functional:

I'm using a ssh shell sesssion from a Windows7 PC, so I can have
Gravity, Firefox and the BSD console open on the same screen, even
copy/paste between them.
The ntpd daemon is running, currenty syncing with 'net based servers,
and in turn serving up time locally. All that appears to be working OK.
(not sure about warwicknet and the reach value of 333!)
Sometimes I lose reach on two of my own servers and I'm fairly
sure it's because they'd both be synced to the same refid.

(that got wrapped)
Just that I (mistakenly) omited to install the system sources when doing
the base install. Else, I'd probably be all done and dusted as far as
PPS based time sync goes.
It seems however, there may be an alternative way to enable PPS support,
from another message in this thread.
Then, I can get the GPS hardware connected, just using the 'net as
fallback if the GPS system "burps". Heck, this time I might even add
the server to the uk pool, if that doenst tip my hand with my ISP.
I joined the pool Nov 2009 and had a fright first week when my
monthly usage allowance was blasted by turk telecom. Fortunately
the pool dns rotation meant I wasn't hit again for a few weeks.
