I had a similar error, for the interface on my own internal network.
On 4.4 my /etc/rc.conf was set up like this:

  ifconfig_ed1="inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
  ifconfig_ed1_alias0="inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"

and that did work ok. In 4.5 I had to change it to:

  ifconfig_ed1="inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
  ifconfig_ed1_alias0="inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.255"

(Look at the differences in the netmasks.)

As you did not send any lines from your rc.conf I can't tell if
this is the problem, but it might be.

I hope this was of any help. :-)

Best regards,
Paul
