The ioctl error message could also be ifconfig trying to update the 
routing table. If there is already a route for 10.10.1.0/24 this message 
will appear.

e.g.

# ifconfig rl0 inet 10.10.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
 >>> adds a route for 10.10.1/24 via rl0
# ifconfig rl0 ient alias 10.10.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig: ioctl.....
# ifconfig rl0 inet alias 10.10.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.255
 >>> should work.
