The network interface has a fixed IP address.  There are no indications in messages of issues with the network interface. Even a service xxx stop where xxx does not exist removes the default route.

I have a clean install of 14.2-RELEASE I'm using for testing ZFS, so 
I've just tried to recreate this and couldn't. And I tried quite hard!

You know defaultroute is kind of like a service in rc.d ? (Not that this 
helps but it might be relevant).

If you post some key files I can try those for you. Anything varying 
from a clean install. My bet is on something in rc.conf is a bit off and 
triggering a bug.
