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.
changes to it based upon other outstanding bug reports and commits made
after his work.
Comments:
(a) sysconfig is still used to do all configuration. I was not going to
change that out from under you.... a user never need edit netstart
or rc* unless they're being very weird.
(b) rc.maint has been folded back into rc. It is just unworkable as
a separate chunk because of ordering bogosities
(c) netstart does what it says... it starts up enough of the network to
get up, it doesn't start every bloody daemon that might talk to a
socket... netstart ifconfig's the devices and sets up routing if
configured to do so.
(d) nfs disks are mounted immediately after netstart completes
(e) syslog is started as early as possible (right after nfs) so that error
messages can get logged to remote syslog servers properly
(f) named is started (there is an argument that says that named should be
started before syslogd because if you are the dns server for your domain,
you'd like named to resolve remote hosts in syslog.conf, but this is
a minority case and the trivial workarround is to put the syslog host
in /etc/hosts or use an /etc/resolv.conf -- why? because you want syslog
to catch named errors, which is a MUCH more important and likely occurance)
(g) NOW all of the rest of the network daemons such as the time stuff, RPC,
NIS, NFS, Kerberos and inetd are started
(h) the rest of the generic stuff is done (cron/printer/sendmail)
(i) shared libraries are set
(j) /etc/rc.i386 is run (this does FreeBSD/386 specific stuff like ibcs2,
xtend, and all of the syscons stuff
(this is actually started as /etc/rc.`uname -m`
(k) the syscons stuff has gotten a serious cleaning to make it consistent
with rc conventions
(l) rc.local has had the comments about syscons removed (they are not relevant
to this file now) and the full name of the kernel has been restored to
/etc/motd

before the rest of the system daemons are brought up and *after* the
network interfaces have been configured.
Also fix one other potential problem: the NIS services need to be started
relavively early since some of the other daemons might need them. The
automounter is a good example: if you use amd with NIS-based maps, you'd
better have NIS running before you start it. :) I think mountd might
need it too, now that netgroups can be read via NIS as well.
1. Move all system configuration variables into /etc/sysconfig
2. Adapt other files to use it.
3. Add a host of new variables for micro-managing your system in various
ways. For 2.1, /etc/sysconfig will be machine-edited so that the user
doesn't even have to care at all about the various funny names we picked.
4. Enable dset. We won't get it debugged if we never use it, and no one
has said anything negative about it yet, so here goes!
5. Try to use one consistent style throughout.
- Do ntp right
- Move recenrly-added and long-standing junk from rc.local into rc, so
. that rc.local truly is LOCAL.
- Fix named invocation to use the correct boot file location.

elv* files there.
back editor!
Add nvi recovery precedure from man page.
Fix ntpdate echo lines so that it looks pretty (ntpdate spits out 1 line
of output that makes the system boot up look real ugly if you do it
echo -n, so I chaged it to echo, and then added a
echo -n 'starting more network daemons:' so any addition daemon starts
look normal.
