SLIP support is rather primitive and limited primarily to hard-wired
links, such as a serial cable running between a laptop computer and
another computer. The link should be hard-wired as the SLIP
installation doesn't currently offer a dialing capability; that
facility is provided with the PPP utility, which should be used in
preference to SLIP whenever possible. When you choose a serial port
device, you'll be given the option later to edit the slattach command
before it's run on the serial line. It is expected that you'll run
slattach (or some equivalent) on the other end of the link at this
time and bring up the line. FreeBSD will then install itself over the
serial line at speeds of up to 115.2K/baud (the recommended speed for
a hardwired cable).

it blank and allow PPP to negotiate it with your ISP). You also need

If a hard-wired connection to another FreeBSD (2.0R or later) machine
is available, you might also consider installing over a "laplink"
parallel port cable. The data rate over the parallel port is much
higher than is what's typically possible over a serial line (up to
50k/sec), thus resulting in a quicker installation.

always a good choice! FreeBSD supports most common PC ethernet cards,

part of the FreeBSD Hardware Guide - see the Documentation menu on the
