I'm trying to configure bgpd to run in an alternate routing table so I
can use it to manage black holed prefixes. When trying to specify an
alternate routing table I get the error message "rtable id 1 does not
exist" when starting bgpd. I've gone through route(8) and route(4) but
can't find any information on creating a routing table. My attempts at
creating by just adding a prefix appear to be of no use. I'm sure I
missed something in the documentation and I would appreciate any hints
people can provide.

This is on OpenBSD 4.9 GENERIC.MP#819 amd64

Basic bgpd.conf I'm using

# global configuration
AS 65100
fib-update no
route-collector yes
holdtime 10

# Alternate Routing Table
rtable 1

Error output from bgpd:

# bgpd -vnf bgpd.conf
bgpd.conf:8: rtable id 1 does not exist

error output from route:

# route -T 1 add -inet 192.168.0.0/24 127.0.0.1
route: routing table 1: No such file or directory

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the noise.
