OK...just set the box up for ethernet according to 
"http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/howto/networking/OT.1.3.gif"

Now I get no errors on startup, however once I login to the box and try 
to ping my cable modem I get 'ping: sendto: Host is Down'. If I try to 
telnet anywhere I get 'no route to host' but if I then switch the 
ethernet cable going to the cable modem from the Q610 (netBSD) to the 
8100 (MacOS 8.5) operation resumes normally..

Ideas?
