I would use 1.4.2 instead of 1.5. I think 1.4.2 would be more
stable or more finished.

ifconfig sn0 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

Replace sn0 with the name of your ethernet interface if it's
different. It's one of the things that prints at boot.
Replace 192.168.1.1 with your IP number.
Replace 255.255.255.0 with the netmask for your network.

To set the path to the router:
route add default 192.168.1.254

Replace 192.168.1.254 with the IP number of your router.

The /etc/netstart script will do all that for you on boot if
you configure it right. I've never learned how to configure
/etc/netstart. I just remove /etc/netstart from /etc/rc and
put the necessary networking commands in /etc/rc.
