 I've applied this patch to my own FreeBSD 5.4 system and it works  
 great!  It would be great to see this applied.  There are several  
 things that are currently broken that this patch fixes:
 
 1) /etc/rc.d/hostname - Enables us diskless folks to get the client's  
 hostname from DHCP, rather than overriding the rc.conf (this is  
 currently the ONLY reason for me to override rc.conf for each  
 diskless client).
 
 2) /etc/rc.d/resolv - Enables a reasonable /etc/resolv.conf to be  
 written from the DHCP packet.
 
 Incidentally these features have been in the startup scripts since  
 2002 (/etc/rc.d/diskless v1.23), but the dhcp.* kenv variables have,  
 AFAIK, never been set.
 
 Finally, this was also reported as PR kern/43474, back in 2002.
