Document the current semantics of the 'quiet' command prefix
in the rc.subr(8).
Fix dhclient rc.d script: it should not call err() for
non-DHCP-enabled interface when it is called from devd, because the
latter just blindly calls 'service dhclient quietstart' on each "link
up" event.
Since the 'quietstart' will silence the message "Cannot 'start' <foo>.
Set <foo>_enable to YES in /etc/rc.conf or use 'onestart' instead of
'start'." and running dhclient on the non-DHCP-enabled interface is
the same thing as running the service <foo> without <foo>_enable set,
such modification is in sync with the current semantics of the 'quiet'
prefix.

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.

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

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.

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.)

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)".
