Leave dumpdev, but kill the savecore variable. Thus, it's still off
by default, but all you need is enabling dumpdev now.
phk's old argument that savecore might inadvertendly fill up the disk
no longer counts, savecore now correctly obeyes a `minfree' file, and
we ship our systems with such a file that even has a reasonable
default.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
wondering what the hw-config of a machine is, and the logs have been
rotated many times since reboot already.
Added:
/sbin/dmesg > /var/tmp/dmesg.boot
to /etc/rc
2.2 candidate
This is a lot more robust and handles errors a lot better. It also cleans
up stray, hopeless, or unmodified files rather than leaving them there
forever.
. crate the symlink for /dev/log if required, then
. remove the old socket (savecore might have already created it
accidentally), then
. start syslogd.
(Btw., our test(1) misses an option to test for a socket.)
- split the "starting network daemons" in half.
- The first half starts things necessary to get full name service up.
- The quota check etc moved from "before network" to after the name
services are running. quotacheck does a while(p=getpwent()) which
isn't real good without YP running...
- moved rwhod a little later to put it with the other network stuff.
- deferred inetd a tad so that it's after ldconfig and dev_mkdb,
otherwise you get logins before you're ready.
Unresolved: named is started before ypserv/ypbind still, but named does
a while(s = getservent()) and while (p=getprotoent()) to suck in the
entire database into memory. This means you cannot have a "+" in the
/etc/services or /etc/protocols files or you get a long hang at boot.

I re-wrote alot of this, but the ideas are based on the code from the
most recent pccard-snapshot.
While I'm at it, add a commented-out sample amd flags line to sysconfig
and drop a sample amd.map file in this directory for easy copying.
I know that this file's contents are highly site-variable, but the one I've
chosen for an example is also the one I've seen on 99.9% of the amd-using
sites I've visited. I think it's a fair default.
directories to check in looking for port startup scripts. The specific gunge
for apache httpd, gated and pcnfsd in /etc/sysconfig and /etc/netstart is
gone now. Note that pcnfsd's troubles aren't necessarily over (and probably
why NetBSD brought it into their sources) - anyone adding pcnfsd will STILL
have to tweak /etc/sysconfig in order to set the new variable
`weak_mountd_authentication' to YES. The flags to mountd are directly affected
by pcnfsd's requirements for non-root mounts, unfortunately! :-(

in FreeBSD and should never have got in here.
Removed hard-coded /etc/rc.local.d hacks and implemented a more flexible
solution.
Added a local configuration area to sysconfig.
don't like it, they don't have to use it. The check makes sure that
/etc/rc.local.d exists before attempting to do anything with it. Now
packages will be able to add their startups as /etc/rc.local.d/<pkgname>.sh
in order to get local startup behavior. Maybe we can stop adding
knobs to /etc/sysconfig for ports/packages now?

Add nis_ypsetflags sysconfig entry and appropriate code in rc to call
ypset if needed. Should probably automatically add `-ypsetme' to ypbind
flags if this is set.
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.
