Both
FreeBSD 9.0-BETA3 #0 i386 and amd64 (several different machines, no GENERIC kernels); this problem seems to have existed for a couple of months (in -CURRENT / 9.0). This config was without problems in 8-STABLE.
>Description:
Please see this thread on the FreeBSD Forums:

http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=27108
>How-To-Repeat:
Set ifconfig_nic0 and ifconfig_nic0_alias0 entries in rc.conf, and reboot. The primary IP address comes up, the alias is absent, and no activity can be found in dmesg -a.
>Fix:
Using the ipv4_addrs_nic0 type syntax does not have this problem. Creating the alias from the command line is also not a problem.

 Dear Ben,
 
 I am running RC-1 (or at least a version from a few days ago) and that =
 has working aliases. Can you confirm that this is still a problem with =
 recent versions?
 
 Thnx,
 Remko=

State-Changed-Why:  
I am running the latest BETA3, which is not the RC1 I talked 
about (in my head we where further then we actually are), 
though it seems to work for me. I asked Ben to verify and 
showed him my configuration which worked 2 days ago on 
one of my systems :-).

 I can confirm it just happened on RC-1 of today (this is in the case of 
 the 'afterburner' post on the Forums).

 I can confirm that it just happened on an RC-1 checked out and built  today:
 
 This was the setting in rc.conf:
 
 ifconfig_fxp0="inet aaa.bbb.169.74  netmask 255.255.255.248"
 ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet aaa.bbb.169.78 netmask 255.255.255.255"
 
 The .78 alias did not materialize.

State-Changed-Why:  
Submitter agrees to close this ticket. I couldn't reproduce this on my 
own machines, and no other people reported this, so it might have been a 
local glitch. In case Ben hits this again, he should contact me again to 
get this going.
