Added a new NIC (rl0).  Removed any reference to msk0 in rc.conf.  Set rl0 for DHCP.  Same result, but some additional messages:

Starting Network: mske0
Starting Network: rl0
rl0: link state changed to up
Starting Network: lo0
Starting dhclient
rl0: not found
exiting

I am out of ideas here.  How can I figure out what is going on and correct it?
