Rebooting isn't going to start netatalk. You need to set up
/etc/netalk and run /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/netatalk.sh, or arrange to have
it run as root. You can see which man pages were installed by the
package with "pkg_info -L netatalk\*". But first, you have to get your
network configured.

I think that's a problem, there. You've set up a NIS domainname, but
there's no NIS server. Usually you just set "hostname" to an FQDN in
/etc/rc.conf (or /etc/myname), not "domainname".

So what do you have in /etc/ifconfig.ae0? What does "ifconfig ae0"
show, and also "netstat -rn".
