I just checked "man rc.conf" and it gives (under 3.3-RELEASE):
......
defaultrouter
(str) If not set to NO then create a default route to this
host name or IP address (use IP address value if you also
require this router to get to a name server!)
.......
Anyway: the case for specifying an interface is not described here, but
in your case you should do
defaultrouter="-interface ed1"
in your /etc/rc.conf.local.
