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:

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! :-(

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.

when the single user shell was terminated. These changes disallow mounting
or R/W upgrading filesystems that are dirty unless "-f" (force) option
is used with mount. /etc/rc has been modified to abort the startup if
one or more non-nfs partitions fail to mount.

Have netstart directly source sysconfig so that it stands on its own.
Do not source netstart in rc, run it with sh.
Rework the dangerous /etc/hostname.* so that it uses a variable with
a list of interfaces and a variable for each interface in that list.
The files /etc/hostname.* become obsolete with this change, the
information is now stored in /etc/sysconfig.
Source any /etc/start_if.${ifn} files so they can export things to
netstart (plans for future enhancements in this area.)
Obsolete /etc/defaultrouter, this is now down with $defaultrouter from
sysconfig.
