The rc.initdiskless functionality is used by NanoBSD to allow configuration
files to live on a separate configuration slice, which acts as NVRAM, whilst
the system image is mounted read-only.
Normally, if the remount command fails during boot, this is regarded as
a fatal error. If /conf/T/M/remount_optional is present, this error is
non-fatal. If the file is not present, the default behaviour is unchanged.
This is very useful for people building live CD images using FreeBSD,
where the NVRAM lives somewhere completely differently from the system image,
and may be present on removable media which is not present during the
initial boot.
To preserve the existing behavior of etc/rc.d/netif, add code to wait
up to if_up_delay seconds (30 seconds by default) for a default route to
be configured if there are any dhcp interfaces. This should be extended
to test that the interface is actually up.

we can remove the file as early as possible, but shut up nextboot at this moment

find | sort. As a bonus, this simplifies the logic considerably. Also
remove the bogus "overruning the args to ls" comment and the corresponding
"-n 20" argument to xargs; the whole point with xargs is precisely that it
knows how large the argument list can safely get.
Note that the first run of the updated script may hypotheticall produce
false positives due to differences between find's and sort's sorting
algorithm. I haven't seen this during testing, but others might.

rapid wireless association changes in my experience), there is a race
where dhclient is in the process of exiting due to the link going down
when the link coming up causes devd to try and start a new one. This
results is the link being up, but no dhclient running.
Work around this race by checking a second time after a one second delay
before refusing to start a dhclient instance due to one already being
running.
