3d03791bb4 o Implement the stop_boot subroutine [1]. This subroutine can be used by
scripts in rc.d to stop rc(8) from booting into multi-user mode when
  a critical or severe error condition is encountered.

o Modify scripts in etc/rc.d that already implemented this functionality
  independently.

o Document it.

[1] - This subroutine was implemented in FreeBSD in rc.d/fsck. I moved it
      to rc.subr(8). Our version differs slightly in that it takes an
      optional argument to stop the boot even if "autoboot" is not set.

cd4cf11a4d NanoBSD modifications:
* Break out the boot0 loader selection into a variable - NANO_BOOTLOADER -
  so people like me with VGA consoles can override the default (which is
  to use boot0sio)
* Put the boot0 configuration options in NANO_BOOT0CFG in case you want
  to override the defaults.
* Modify nanobsd.8 to reflect the changes and hint the console default is
  serial.

Document my recent changes to rc.subr(8):
- there is $required_modules now;
- $required_* are checked before invoking a custom start method, too.

3081bf98bf Backout this commit since it breaks startup and some scripts in
certain conditions. I haven't been able to find a better solution yet:

    - Set a two read-only variables (${prefix} and ${etcdir}). This is
    especially useful when using /etc/rc.d scripts with third-party
    software installed from ports.
    - Fix rc.d/sshd to work with openssh from ports using ${etcdir}
    instead of hardcoded /etc.
    - Reflect prefix/etcdir changes in rc.subr.8.

        src/etc/rc.d/sshd: rev 1.9 -> 1.10
        src/etc/rc.subr: rev 1.51 -> 1.52
        src/share/man/man8/rc.subr.8: rev 1.11 -> 1.12

1679c7f4f4 Quite a number of rc.d scripts try to load kernel modules. Many
of them do that conditionally depending on kldstat.  The code is
duplicated all over, but bugs can be uniqie.

To make the things more consistent, introduce a new rc.subr function,
load_kld, which takes care of loading a kernel module conditionally.

(Found this lying for a while in my p4 branch for various hacks.)

57e561c083 Remove rcconf.sh from /etc/rc.d, and instead load the configuration
as part of rc. Doing this, and the sourcing of rc.subr after we have
determined if we are booting diskless (and correspondingly run
rc.initdiskless if necessary) are safe, and actually allow fewer files
to be needed on the diskless box. This also allows variables from
the configuration to be available to rc itself, such as ...

Add a variable to rc.conf, early_late_divider, which designates the
script which separates the early and late stages of the boot process.
Default this to mountcritlocal, and add text to etc/defaults/rc.conf,
rc.conf(5) and diskless(8) which describes how and why one might want
to change this.

08b9134350 Replace "/etc/make.conf" with references to make.conf(5)

the location of make.conf is not constant and can be

successful [is spelled] with only one l

NetBSD rev. 1.12
 Implement ``one'' prefix to allow a "one shot" operation as if
 ${rcvar}=yes yet all the other prerequisite tests are still performed.
 The existing ``force'' prefix is a sledgehammer that ignores all the
 prerequisite checks and always returns a zero exit status; this is a
 more gentle approach to the problem of "manipulate this disabled
 service without editing rc.conf(5)".

738d91ba76 Update the diskless(8) documentation to indicate that the use of the
kernel BOOTP options is *not* required if the boot loader can pass
network configuration information to the kernel using the kernel
environment.  As such, PXE doesn't require them.  However, the NFS
options are required in the kernel (previously not documented).
