I've tried this, in my own mix
due to rcorder, an external /etc filesystem is not read NOR mounted in
time to be read.  When I did it and tried to bring it up ASAP, the
system failed to read hostname variable in the external /etc filesystem.

I haven't yet, and probably won't try -- to rewrite the /etc/rc startup
to allow it.  And I think it's because /etc/rc sources /etc/rc.conf even
before it runs....  So how can I start rc and get the
external /etc/rc.conf read before rc starts?

I'd like to know, if it's possible.
