Check your /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file for the definitions of that route.

Either comment them out, or remove them from the file. I would recommend just commenting them out so you can reference it in the future if you need to.

Look in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf. The entry is probably in the ROUTE_DESTINATION[N]=,ROUTE_MASK[N]=, ... section of this configuration file.

I should add that while the entry is probably in the netconf file, it is possible that it is in a custom file in /sbin/init.d so if you don't find it in the standard location, /etc/rc.config.d/netconf then grep the scripts in /sbin/init.d/ for "route".
