Hello,

  I think you have all the ifconfig lines in /etc/netstart 
uncommented. You should only uncomment the ifconfig line of the
interface you actually have.

  a short list:

ne0  Novell NE2000 ethernet card
ec0  3Com              "     "
sl0  Slip serial interface
we0  Western disgital/ smc 8000 ethernet card
is0  isolan isolink ethernet
lo0  Local loopback interface. (uncomment this one to test the TCP/IP
                                software. recommended!)
