we set in rc.conf.
Background: the `vinum read' command has changed. For a short period
of time, it required the names of the slices on which vinum was
stored. Now it requires the names of the drives.
Strictly speaking, it is not necessary; the screen saver will load
even if the splash module is still in memory. But still, it is the right
thing to do, otherwise the splash decoder module just wasts the kernel space.

let it rotate /var/log/wtmp again, and update monthly/200.accounting to
take this into account. (Some sites might want to change the parameters
of the rotation; it's easier to do this when it's all centralized in
newsyslog.conf.)
variable and propogates back to /etc/rc where it will be used to
locate the rc.local file. The local variable will also be used by
/etc/rc.conf. Note that /etc/rc.conf reverts to its prior operation
of accessing /etc/rc.conf.local if run standalone.
rc.conf should only contain simple ops. We still keep the conf_dir
override, however, and this will be used when rc.conf is run from
/etc/rc in a diskless configuration.
about this becase that makes it get run *before* the filesystems are
mounted. If people have added stuff to their rc.conf or rc.conf.local
that uses stuff outside of /bin and /sbin, this will break.
since the kernel must be booted from something ( like a floppy ). This
script must occur near the beginning of the rc file in order to support
read-only NFS mounts, which in turn allows all the BOOTP machines to use
the same / and /usr.
The companion rc.diskless script is forthcoming.
This means that if(when) you go "sh MAKEDEV all" in /dev
the devices get remade; you don't get errors.
A lot of the changes are for info only; they are commented out.

This should be merged into RELENG_3 and a similar patch may be needed
for RELENG_2_2, should that deemed necessary.
Make world succeeded with these patches in my tree.

vinum_slices to the names of all slices (block device) which are under
the control of vinum. The configuration will be read in from each in
turn, starting with the most recently updated.

normal ifconfig stuff, one might need to pass down authentication
parameters for them.
This is closely tied to Hellmuth's impending rc patches for ISDN, but
sppp can also be used separately (thus it doesn't go directly into the
planned ISDN section of rc.conf).
