dinstall on the rescue disk does the initial configuration of the network
on debian systems -- it's easy enough, however, to just go and edit
/etc/init.d/network yourself.  have a look at 'man ifconfig'.  on 2.0.x
kernels you'll need to add a route to the interface yourself too, on 2.2.x
the kernel takes care of that when you configure an interface.
