In /etc/rc.conf:
------------------
network_interfaces="isppp0 ed0 lo0" # List of network interfaces (lo0 is loo
pback).
ifconfig_ed0="" # see /etc/start_if.ed0
ifconfig_lo0="" # default loopback device configuration.
# see /etc/start_if.lo0
ifconfig_isppp0="" # see /etc/start_if.isppp
In /etc/start_if.ed0:
-----------------------
/sbin/ifconfig ed0 inet 192.168.250.5 netmask 0xffffff00
# /sbin/ifconfig ed0 inet 192.168.250.2 netmask 0xffffffff alias
# /sbin/ifconfig ed0 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 alias
Why do you want to ifconfig via /etc/rc.conf at all when you are already
using /etc/start_if.* ?
