During a diskless boot (i.e. after the PXE stage); I'd like to get to load
(or try to load) a configuration file which is machine specific; e.g.
something along the lines of:
# >> /mboot/boot/defaults/loader.conf
#
....
loader_conf_files="/boot/device.hints /boot/loader.conf
/boot/loader.conf.local /boot/\\${boot.netif.ip}.conf /boot/nextboot.conf"
....
where at least an attempt is made to get a machine specific file (in this
case to define a kernel boot file which is specific to that machine) - as
this would allow me to reduce the footprint on the boot/dhcp/tftp server
considerably.
Any hints ? (The above does not get substituted).
