Setting Default NIC

I Just upgraded my freebsd machine to a new board, this one has an
onboard NIC where as the old one just had a PCI 10/100 nic. I put the
old NIC on the new board as well so I can have 2 running out of the
machine, but I don't know how to set it so that the onboard NIC (vr0) is
the default and the PIC nic (r10) is not, because when I unplug the PCI
one all net connectivity shuts down. Here's my ifconfig and my rc.conf
as always help is much appreciated.
