1f7f299117 Add support to rc.initdiskless for /conf/T/M/remount_subdir.
This allows the location of the configuration data to be relocated
within the filesystem containing it. A nullfs mount is used in order
to achieve this.

7e54279b42 Add support for /conf/T/M/remount_optional.
The rc.initdiskless functionality is used by NanoBSD to allow configuration
files to live on a separate configuration slice, which acts as NVRAM, whilst
the system image is mounted read-only.

Normally, if the remount command fails during boot, this is regarded as
a fatal error. If /conf/T/M/remount_optional is present, this error is
non-fatal. If the file is not present, the default behaviour is unchanged.

This is very useful for people building live CD images using FreeBSD,
where the NVRAM lives somewhere completely differently from the system image,
and may be present on removable media which is not present during the
initial boot.

9b96fa2da3 - put some common code in a function handle_remount();
- add better checks on non-existing directories to prevent error
  messages at run time;
- introduce a function log() to help debugging diskless booting
  when things don't work;
- modify the parsing of diskless_remount so you can add mount_nfs
  options after the pathname. You could use 'remount' to do something
  similar, but this way is more convenient because you don't have to
  hardwire the server name in the command.
- document the above.

I have been running the above in a diskless lab since february on RELENG_6.

1c3a359b41 The -x <format> option of pax is for creation of archives, not
extraction.

This will allow cpio archive support to work, at least in situations
where /tmp is writable.  Because pax requires a writable /tmp it is
unsuitable for this task, but replacing it will come in a later commit.

2af94c5d1d To allow /etc to be as minimal as possible in a diskless setup, we need
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.

8956ceaff0 Initdiskless must run before ipfw, or people will not be able to
use the conf/* stuff for their firewall configuration.

Running ipfw before could seem to make sense in that it would allow
one to setup access to the NFS server on a "default-deny" kernel,
but it is pretty obvious to the casual observer that such a configuration
never makes it far enough to mount the NFS-root in the first place.

6ea20e1c98 Band-aid diskless booting by running a new preseedrandom script before
initdiskless.  The output of several commands and if available the
contents of /entropy are feed into /dev/random to kickstart the PRNG.
/etc/rc.d/initrandom is left alone to maintain the previous behavior as
much as possiable.

Further work in this area is probably needed.

99e9614386 Extensive documentation changes to the script, but only
comments and empty lines have been touched.

All of this should go in the diskless(8) manpage, now if we had
some kind of 'literate programming' tool to extract the comments
from the script and put them in a reasonable nroff format, it
would be a lot easier to keep code and docs in sync

220ee8be37 Minor changes mostly as discussed on the lists a few days ago:
+ SUBDIR.cpio.gz prevents files from SUBDIR/ to be copied when
   priming the memory filesystems. This restores the old behaviour
   and makes the copy process a lot more efficient

 + look for templates also in the list of directories supplied by
   bootp/dhcp via the T134 option aka kern.bootp_cookie

 + keep track of directories temporarily mounted with "remount"
   or "diskless_remount" commands and unmount them once we are done
   with them (at the end of this script).

eb7bf00306 Do not unconditionally load the configuration files for the RCNG case.
Instead, load them as part of the rc.d system.  This allows us to prioritize
the initidiskless script so it runs before the configuration files are loaded
and allows us to get rid of the exit 2 hack in /etc/rc.  The exit 2 never
worked anyway since it did not unset the prior configuration, causing the
diskless code to not operate properly.

Do a major cleanup and revamping of the diskless code for RCNG.  This will
be backported to the non-RCNG scripts as well as -stable.

2ca85e3d5e In a diskless setup, rc.d/initdiskless may overwrite parts of /etc on
a per-machine or per-cluster (with different ways of expressing what's
part of a cluster) basis.  In order for this to be effective, rc.conf
has to be reread after initdiskless is finished.  Implement this by
adding a hook to etc/rc which rereads rc.conf by request.  This can
also be implemented by renaming initdiskless to initdiskless.sh and
sourcing rc.conf there manually, but it was decided that, that would
be uglier than a hook in etc/rc.

527597b2d9 Stock -current has more than 300 files in /etc, so 255 inodes for the
/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).

5158a0f59f The existing bazaar and site-specific policy in rc.diskless1 is Just Wrong;
and looks like no other Unix diskless configuration I've ever seen.
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.

6bbc26ef9f Remove incorrect comments about the population of /etc: no attempt is
made to copy the NFS-mounted on to /tmp/etc, instead, it is populated

44e0389495 * Simplify the population of the /etc memory filesystem. To avoid
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.
