:> Do people have any objections to running ifconfig and route inside
:> /etc/rc.conf to 'calculate' a machine-specific rc.conf.local path ?

:I do - I like the fact that rc.conf is a "passive" mechanism and can
:be included multiple times (or trivially overridden in rc.conf.local)
:since it only defines variables and has no other "side effects."

What if we added a sysctl variable to the diskless subsection to make
the IP address more readily accessible. Then rc.conf would only have to
run a sysctl ( which should be acceptable ). That would avoid having
to run route and ifconfig.
