Errr, no. FreeBSD won't let you do this.
I think it will if you specify a netmask, otherwise
it uses, wrongly in my view, an old style classless
netmask based on the old class A B and C rules.

On a side issue then.. :
Why do so many vendors automatically generate a classful netmask? Surely the
correct practice is to force the input of a mask as there is these days (cidr)
no system to state what your netmask is.. even a /24 would be better than typing
in 10.3.2.1 and getting a /8
