Please explain,

from man of rc.conf:

static_routes
(str) Set to the list of static routes you would like to
add at system boot time.  If not set to NO then for each
whitespace separated element in the value, a route_em
element variable is assumed to exist for each instance of
element, and will later be passed to a ``route add'' opera-
tion.	

Uhm... I thought a 

static_routes=" -net 10.0.0 192.168.0.124"

is correct, but it doesn't work ...
How is the correct syntax ?

I looked also /etc/rc.network but I was unable to understand more...

Here it is:
# Set up any static routes.  This should be done before router
discovery.
  if [ "x${static_routes}" != "x" ]; then
     for i in ${static_routes}; do
            eval route_args=\$route_${i}
            route add ${route_args}
          done
  fi
