You misunderstood the concept. The concept is (cutted from rc.conf):
+---------------------------------------------------------------------

As I can see, you have just copied /etc/defaults/rc.conf over /etc/rc.conf,
then edited some variables, and left the rest untouched.
Now your /etc/rc.conf, apart from other, has the following lines:

So, you have put it in infinite loop.
