This includes support for running a script to setup that directory.
The kenv variables init_chroot and init_script control this behavior,
and are documented in loader(8) that's about to be committed (along
with the other variables like init_path...).

shutdown procedures (which have a duration of more than 120 seconds).
We have two user-space affecting shutdown timeouts: a "soft" one in
/etc/rc.shutdown and a "hard" one in init(8). The first one can be
configured via /etc/rc.conf variable "rcshutdown_timeout" and defaults
to 30 seconds. The second one was originally (in 1998) intended to be
configured via sysctl(8) variable "kern.shutdown_timeout" and defaults
to 120 seconds.
Unfortunately, the "kern.shutdown_timeout" was declared "unused" in 1999
(as it obviously is actually not used within the kernel itself) and
hence was intentionally but misleadingly removed in revision 1.107 from
init_main.c. Kernel sysctl(8) variables are certainly a wrong way to
control user-space processes in general, but in this particular case the
sysctl(8) variable should have remained as it supports init(8), which
isn't passed command line flags (which in turn could have been set via
/etc/rc.conf), etc.
As there is already a similar "kern.init_path" sysctl(8) variable which
directly affects init(8), resurrect the init(8) shutdown timeout under
sysctl(8) variable "kern.init_shutdown_timeout". But this time document
it as being intentionally unused within the kernel and used by init(8).
Also document it in the manpages init(8) and rc.conf(5).

standing ability to list a non-existant device in /etc/ttys to keep it
from dying. This is a documented feature of init(8):
The init utility can also be used to keep arbitrary daemons running,
automatically restarting them if they die. In this case, the first field
in the ttys(5) file must not reference the path to a configured device
node and will be passed to the daemon as the final argument on its com-
mand line. This is similar to the facility offered in the AT&T System V
UNIX /etc/inittab.
So rather than fix the man page to 'break' this feature, back out the change.
At the time this change was made, people felt that the spamage from
getty was annoying on headless consoles. Andrew Gallatin noted:

and we went off and applied this hack rather than fixing getty to
sleep forever when it gets an unknown device, as was Andrew's other
suggestion. Since it breaks things, I'm off to do that instead.

reaches 0, one could never restart any more without a reboot.
Steve Passe did the leg work on this patch. After he found the fix,
we discovered that an identical fix had been made to NetBSD.

Convert init(8) to use nmount() instead of mount() when
it has to mount devfs. This doesn't happen normally,
since the kernel is supposed to mount devfs itself.
It does not help modern compilers, and some may take some hit from it.

"register" -- just how many free registers do people think machines have?)

now use mounttab, which allows umntall to work properly. The
rc scripts now call umntall as appropriate.

ignore that line in /etc/ttys. If someone HUP's init, we'll try again.
This change stops getty's from hanging on vty and sio ports that don't
exist, either due to LKM drivers not being loaded, or probes failing.
