states that adding a virtual address is done in rc.conf like this:
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 10.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet 10.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.255"
Shouldn't it be this instead?
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 10.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="alias 10.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.255"
No. The actual command to make one is:
ifconfig fxp0 inet 10.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias
So you do need to pass the "inet" to ifconfig. The _alias0 makes the script pass the trailing "alias"
Hmmmm, So what is happening when no 'inet' is in the string? It seems to work fine. Is something still not right and just waiting to explode? We have lots of servers configured that way.

man rc.conf and search for "network_interfaces". The reason it still works is that if you do a simple test with your ifconfig both:
ifconfig wi0 192.168.0.6 ifconfig wi0 inet 192.168.0.6
....work as you would expect.
