So just to be clear (its been a minute since I've played with this!) you do:

hostname="IpGw.Denninger.Net"

dhcpcd_enable="YES"

# Get a primary IPv4 address on the first (near serial port) ethernet port
#
#ifconfig_igb0="inet6 -ifdisabled accept_rtadv auto_linklocal"
#ifconfig_igb0="DHCP -vlanhwtso -tso -lro" <---- This is the line I'm 
commenting out
#ifconfig_igb0="DHCP -tso -lro"

....

in /etc/rc.conf

(and comment out the dhcp6c lines too)

That is, I TURN OFF the "DHCP" in /etc/rc.conf and make sure the 
/usr/local/etc/dhcpcd.conf file has igb0 as an allowed interface?

(If I screw the pooch on this box and can't sign into it over the 
network its a pain to recover it, so I'd rather not.... ;-))
