Use nano to edit the /etc/hostname file to reflect you fully qualified domain name on one line like this mybox.mydomain.com

Use nano again to edit the /etc/hosts file.
It should look something like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.1 mybox.mydomain.com mybox

Add the modules you want to load at boot, like NIC modules, in /etc/modules.autoload

Edit /etc/conf.d/net to get the network configured for first boot. Un-comment the lines that apply.

Run rc-update add net.eth0 default
