That agrees with neither /etc/netstart on the target system nor
/etc/netstart in my most recently supped source tree (which since the

Are you perhaps thinking of /etc/ifconfig.sl0, which *does* act as you

place (/etc/rc.conf.local) as much as possible.

Since I'm writing anyway, here are the patches I've added.
