FreeBSD doesn't let you configure multiple IP addresses within the same 
subnet.  You will either have to use different netmasks, or else use aliases 
as recommended.

See /etc/rc.conf, and add something like:

# Sample alias entry.
#ifconfig_lo0_alias0="inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff"

FreeBSD ships with a toor account available but disabled, which can be useful 
if someone breaks the shell used by the root account itself.  If you want to 
get rid of it, run vipw.
