netif and routing

I am noticing something odd on a 14.3-R VM related to netif and routing. Upon reboot, I checked the console.log and see that routing is started before netif. I did a rcorder check on /etc/rc.d/ and the order is netif first and routing second.

Due to this oddity, when the VM boots up, it throws a bunch of Invalid argument at the routing stage, and doesn't configure the IPv6 gateway since this is the main issue I am trying to debug.

Then I removed all IPv6 configurations from /etc/rc.conf leaving only just ifconfig_vtnet0="up" and rebooted. With this, the console log still shows routing starts before netif.

I'm guessing the error Invalid argument is due to the interfaces not being available when the routing stage starts..

Anyone encountered anything like this before ?
