Is anyone aware of a tutorial/documentation available for creating a
hardware profile? I'm thinking of something that allows the user to
choose to either configure a wireless or a wired NIC during bootup. I
could script it after bootup, but I'd prefer to do it during loader.

Will this require learning FORTH or is there a loader.conf or loader.rc tweak
that will do the trick?
