I believe, btw, that the changes in newfs defaults for blocksize/fragsize
have broken the diskless boot, as I believe the new defaults half the
number of inodes on the filesystem (since inode density is is driven by
fragment size).  As a result, /etc no longer fits on the 4mb md device
created by rc.diskless1.  The tweak is probably pretty easy, but will
require non-default newfs settings for very small filesystems of this sort
in the future.

Given that the -STABLE scripts for diskless are still quite broken, it's
probably not worth fixing and MFC'ing before the release.  The -CURRENT
ones required quite a lot of very basic tweaking before they worked.

A quick fix would be to increase the size of the md device by default.
