>Description:
ifconfig_fxp0_aliasX definitions in /etc/rc.conf must be in 
sequential order.  Also, if one (here 'X-1') is missing, all aliases
from X onwards will be ignored.

This could be viewed as a configuration issue (which it is, strictly 
speaking), but as some poeple have a lot of aliases, this kind of
mechanism could be optimized.

>How-To-Repeat:
Put the following in rc.conf:

ifconfig_fxp0="inet x.y.129.194 netmask 255.255.255.240"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet x.y.129.195 netmask 255.255.255.255"
#ifconfig_fxp0_alias1="inet x.y.129.196 netmask 255.255.255.255"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias2="inet x.y.129.198 netmask 255.255.255.255"

alias2 will not be configured.
