Make the changes in rc.conf so that the box will be configured correctly
then next time it is rebooted. To change the address without rebooting,
you'll have to use ifconfig. Do
ifconfig -a
to get the device, e.g. xl0. Then do
ifconfig xl0 192.168.2.1
changing 'xl0' to your device and '192.168.2.1' to your address.
