Give the routes a name, then put those in rc.conf or rc.conf.local
static_routes="lab admin etc" # Set to static route list (or leave empty).
route_lab="172.28.64.1"
route_admin="172.28.64.2"
route_etc="172.28.64.3"
To figure this out for yourself, you could have looked in /etc/rc* files
for references to static_routes and then read what it does. You'd find
it in rc.network:
# 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
