/etc/rc.conf is now a system file, not to be changed by the user,
right ? Is this documented anywhere ?  Maybe a BIG comment in the
beggining of rc.conf directing the user to rc.conf.site.

I've already been caught by this, and other people will be with the
release of 3.1, for sure.

//   Also kget kernel change information back properly and set up a loader.rc
//   file to use it.

Could this be put back in the rc script, as it has been in the a.out
kernel times with the dset utility ?  POLA is the key here.  If it's
not that difficult, it would be a GoodThing(TM) to do before 3.1.
