I'm trying to figure out how all these loader scripts fit together,
and I have some questions. First, my understanding is that the
scripts are included like this (indentation signifies nesting):
/boot/loader.rc
/boot/loader.4th
/boot/support.4th
["start" command executes]
/boot/defaults/loader.conf
/boot/loader.conf
/boot/loader.conf.local
Now for my questions:
1. Is the above diagram correct?
2. "/boot/loader.conf" and "/boot/loader.conf.local" are entirely
site-specific, and can be used to override the defaults from
"/boot/defaults/loader.conf" -- correct?
3. If I want to add some site-specific script code, as opposed to
overriding variable settings, where is the best place to put it?
4. Shouldn't these scripts installed on the Alpha too? Currently,
none of them are.
5. Except for "/boot/defaults/loader.conf", are any of the installed
scripts architecture-specific?
Thanks,
John
