This does not make any operational change except to get rid
of the $conf_dir junk from rc.conf, which I originally put
in to try to bootstrap rc.diskless.
A much better way to do rc.diskless was suggested to me,
which I'm going to implement. It involves retargeting
the /conf/ME softlink by mount_union'ing a small MFS
filesystem onto /conf. Then one simply makes /etc/rc.conf.local
a softlink to /conf/ME/rc.conf.local ( i.e. a sysop would do
that as an extra, we wouldn't distribute the base system
like that of course )
In anycase, I've committed a new rc.conf that gets rid
of $conf_dir, FYI, and am about to commit a new rc.diskless and
new examples that uses the mount_union idea for retargeting
during a diskless boot that will be much more straightward and
obvious.
