I am aware of these notes in the heading of this script, but with all due respect I think you are misunderstanding what it says. It is telling you that if you find yourself in single user mode without network services, you may use this script to re-start them. Experience is usually worth more than conjecture, and I have used this script may times remotely to bring to life options added to /etc/rc.conf. The only glitch I have noticed is that aliases and routes are not deleted. For instance if you want to add a list of ifconfig statements that do not play well with existing ones, you will need to ifconfig delete those ips before running /etc/netstart.
