"ifconfig_ed1" is a shell variable. The second line sets it to one value, and the third line overwrites it with another. In other words, the first ifconfig_ed1 will never be executed, so what /etc/netstart does is attempt to execute the second only - I'm not surprised that it hung. In 2.2 and above, this is the sort of thing you need to do: network_interfaces="ed1 lo0" ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" ifconfig_ed1="inet 207.155.58.2 netmask 0xffffff00" ifconfig_ed1_alias0="inet 207.155.58.20 netmask 0xffffffff" With older versions of /etc/netstart, I usually manually add the alias commands to the end of that script, unless I could be bothered modifying it and adding the alias logic from later versions.
