for kldstat to ever print "IP Filter" (the module is called "ipfilter"
and modules don't have anything like a description), so this function
would always return false. That would cause prestart to attempt to
load the module even if it's already loaded, which would fail and
prevent the rules from being loaded.

GENERIC comment in ttyN.
- Add the name of the device driver creating the device nodes above the
respectives blocks so it's easier for user to find the right entry to
shut up warnings from getty(8). Replace 'Requires device 'uart' be
enabled.' with just 'uart(4)' as the former referred to a sparc64
GENERIC back when uart(4) wasn't enabled by default, yet.
- Turn off the getty(8) on screen as screen is created by ofw_console(4)
which is no longer enabled in the sparc64 GENERIC (and also only is a
last resort) to shut up warnings from getty(8) with the current GENERIC.
method of executing commands remotely. There are no rexec clients in
the FreeBSD tree, and the client function rexec(3) is present only in
libcompat. It has been documented as "obsolete" since 4.3BSD, and its
use has been discouraged in the man page for over 10 years.
- Implement sampling modes and logging support in hwpmc(4).
- Separate MI and MD parts of hwpmc(4) and allow sharing of
PMC implementations across different architectures.
Add support for P4 (EMT64) style PMCs to the amd64 code.
- New pmcstat(8) options: -E (exit time counts) -W (counts
every context switch), -R (print log file).
- pmc(3) API changes, improve our ability to keep ABI compatibility
in the future. Add more 'alias' names for commonly used events.
- bug fixes & documentation.
way interfaces are configured. Some key points:
- At startup, all interfaces are configured through /etc/rc.d/netif.
- ifconfig_<if> variables my now mix real ifconfig commands the with
DHCP and WPA directives. For example, this allows media
configuration prior to running dhclient.
- /etc/rc.d/dhclient is not run at startup except by netif to start
dhclient on specific interfaces.
- /etc/pccard_ether calls "/etc/rc.d/netif start <if>" to do most of
it's work.
- /etc/pccard_ether no longer takes additional arguments to pass to
ifconfig. Instead, ifconfig_<if> variables are now honored in favor
of pccard_ifconfig when available.
- /etc/pccard_ether will only run on interfaces specified in
removable_interfaces, even if pccard_ifconfig is set.

NB: In FreeBSD 4.x and earlier, a script (file) named /etc/security
exists. Does mergemaster need to be taught how to replace a file with
a directory?

because new devfs entries can show up later and one can access such entires
from inside named chroot.
In rc.d scripts we can use devfs_domount() function with devfsrules_hide_all
policy and unhide 'null' and 'random' manually.
to see if a prior devfs has been mounted. If no devfs is mounted on
${jail_devdir}/dev then proceed. This will prevent the stack up of
multiple devfs mounts on the same mount point.

to run initdiskless before we run rcorder on /etc/rc.d. To allow this,
move /etc/rc.d/initdiskless to /etc/rc.initdiskless and run it directly
from /etc/rc.
Remove /etc/rc.d/preseedrandom as it is no longer necessicary (we start
with entropy unblocked) and was only used by initdiskless when it
was needed.

Without this flag, if the symlink existed already a new symlink would
be created in the source directory. While harmless if the two symlinks
were the same, it nonetheless caused pointless confusion.
The pathological case is that when there is an existing /etc/namedb
symlink, but named_chrootdir in rc.conf pointed to a different
directory, it was the symlink in /var/named that was getting
updated, not the one in /etc. This led to some difficult to diagnose
problems for users.
sockets placed into prisons from the host environment get clobbered
by the prison's instance of cleanvar. (assuming /etc/rc is run in
the prison).

save file was /var/db/entropy, which also happens to
be the directory where the individual entropy files
created by /usr/libexec/save-entropy are stored.
Change the suggestion to be /var/db/entropy-file
instead.
In an error condition where the shutdown file is not
created, the error message accessed a variable that
doesn't exist.
