Wired/wireless on a diskfull system should be trivial.

Assuming you're netbooting off re0, that looks correct.

This is wrong - there should't be an IP address on re0 at this point.

lagg0 shows only one laggport so there's no failover.  Are you sure you
installed /etc/rc.d/lagg or an equivalent script?

I replied to this one because it had a meaningful subject.
