Before configuring _which_ interface?
I guess you mean the case of having several network interfaces. Let all
of the unconfigured interfaces get the IP settings from hostname.default
and write this in the documentation. It is easier to plug in just one
cable than having to guess all the names of the interfaces (em0, bge0,
re0, rl0 etc).
After the first boot one can easily find out the names with ifconfig and
then for example 'mv /etc/hostname.default /etc/hostname.em0'
