I have used the structures that already exists.. for bootp or pxe purposes... Maybe you did not understand my patch (terrible english :), but I'm using the loader.conf file to set that variables, and that ones (for bootp/pxe) have a pattern, i think that follow it is nice. The variables are (i guess) for autoconfiguration task (in boot)... So boot.netif.hostname is not the same as kern.hostname. But this decision for me is irrelevant, the devel man will decide what is better. :)) Thansk for your motivation. []'s > > Why don't you make it parse nfsroot.* from vfs.root.mountfrom?
