rc.i386 failed messily when I used a serial console.
Editors note:
Use file redirection so that all the kbdcontrol and vidcontrol
commands act upon /dev/ttyv0 instead of stdin. Though this feature
is not documented it is the intended behavior of {vid,kbd}control
and shall be documented in the future as such.
built release after fixing all the wrong directory permissions in that release.
Then use diff -c -b to verify them against the old versions, nothing but
new directories added :-). And a lot of alphabetizing done!
Add comment that you should not have to edit netstart, and if you
do we would like to know about it.
The lo0 interface is now handled just like any other interface,
This makes it possible to do things to it from sysconfig.
Redo the comments in sysconfig about network_interfaces and ifconfig_${X}
to reflect the moving of lo0 to this scheme. We now have an uncommented
variable for sysintall to find and play with. (Your welcome Jordan)
Redo the way static routes are handled. Basically use the same
scheme for routes that I did for network interfaces. This allows
any number of static routes to be added from sysconfig.
Make sure we do the default route first so we stand a chance of
getting to our DNS server (if we have one) to resolve our own
IP address from $hostname.
have non-critical nfs volumes in /etc/fstab they should have option bg
on them. The behavior of the system is more tuneable this way, and
allows a slow mounting /usr over nfs to work.

when the single user shell was terminated. These changes disallow mounting
or R/W upgrading filesystems that are dirty unless "-f" (force) option
is used with mount. /etc/rc has been modified to abort the startup if
one or more non-nfs partitions fail to mount.

Have netstart directly source sysconfig so that it stands on its own.
Do not source netstart in rc, run it with sh.
Rework the dangerous /etc/hostname.* so that it uses a variable with
a list of interfaces and a variable for each interface in that list.
The files /etc/hostname.* become obsolete with this change, the
information is now stored in /etc/sysconfig.
Source any /etc/start_if.${ifn} files so they can export things to
netstart (plans for future enhancements in this area.)
Obsolete /etc/defaultrouter, this is now down with $defaultrouter from
sysconfig.
