the whole thing generic. That is, /conf/base, /conf/default,
/conf/${ipba}, and /conf/${ip} are all handled the same way.
Introduce an NFS remounting feature via the /conf/base/<dir>/diskless_remount
so you can avoid dup'ing system directories in /conf (described in rc file).
Introduce a memory filesystem sizing feature via the /conf/base/<dir>/md_size
file that allows you to override the default memory filesystem size.
Introduce a file containing relative paths to remove for each memory filesystem
directory as /conf/base/<dirname>.remove.
Make the cpio feature more generic (applies to any filesystem) (aka
/conf/base/<dirname>.cpio.gz).
Allow any root directories to be created as a memory filesystem via the
/conf/*/* mechanism.
Replace the copyright notice with a reference to the COPYRIGHT file and
do other cleanups.

/etc filesystem isn't enough; consequently, add "-i 4096" to the newfs
command for /etc. This results in 1022 inodes, which should be enough
for the forseeable future (although I don't know why we would ever
have more than 1000 files in a default /etc).

Thus allow a more traditional /etc.
Note, the use of an MFS /var should also be settable.
Otherwise installing ports(packages) is just a total PITA.
the null mount, we currently create a temporary mfs on /tmp, copy
/etc to /tmp, then mount /etc as mfs and copy everything back from
/tmp, then delete the /tmp mfs.
The patch eliminates the temporary /tmp mfs and the subsequent
copying and simply populates the /etc mfs by copying from
/conf/default/etc. This requires that /conf/default/etc contain a
complete copy of all the /etc stuff instead of just overrides. I
don't think that is too much of an extra step in setting up a
diskless environment.
* Provide the ability to make /tmp a memory filesystem independent
of /var. This removes the requirement that /tmp be a symlink to
/var/tmp and this makes the diskless code work with the default
filesystem layout. If a seperate /tmp memory filesystem is
created, the 'tmpsize' environment variable is used to determine
its size (default to 10 Meg).
* Reduce diffs between the -current and -stable versions of these
files to a bare minimum. Only the definition of the shell
function 'mount_md' is different.
