It seems picobsd is using rather fancy scripts with loader. I don't
think we need them any more than we need rc/rc.conf. Take a look at
loader.rc that Greg is using with his new PicoBSD build. It's a streamed
down version that has just what you need (assuming you don't need to
configure kernel/save settings).
