	1. Do not COPY /etc/defaults/rc.conf to /etc/rc.conf -- rc.conf
	should contain only _changes_ to the default.

	The RC boot system in FreeBSD works in the following fashion:

	a) read all defaults in from /etc/defaults/rc.conf
	b) read overriden variables from /etc/rc.conf

	So copying /etc/defaults/rc.conf amounts to having an empty /etc/rc.conf

	2. In your posted rc.conf:

	... try to add a space between " and #, i.e.:

	% var="value"#comment
	% echo $var
	value#comment
