Well, it would help if you also put in the _ between ifconfig and ed0
in the last two lines:

ifconfig_ed0_alias1="inet A.B.C.140 netmask 255.255.255.255"
ifconfig_ed0_alias2="inet A.B.C.141 netmask 255.255.255.255"

        ^

This one.

You should be getting error messages from the startup scripts.
