But the NetBSD style is exactly as easy to administer as the FreeBSD
style.  It is more modular and easy to expand after the boot.  How do
I start nfs on FreeBSD after it boots?  Well, you grep it out of
/etc/rc*.  With the NetBSD style, it is as simple as '/etc/rc.d/nfsd
start'

It isn't SysV RC style.  It is BSD style taken to its logical next
step.  All the knobs for this are still in a central location, so you
don't have to make sure you get the hardlinks right.
