I have a patch to allow nextboot(8) to set arbitrary kernel environment
variables (not just the kernel dir and kernel_options). The usage becomes:
Usage: nextboot [-e variable=value] [-f] [-k kernel] [-o options]
nextboot -D
and the new option is documented as:
-e variable=value
This option adds the provided variable and value to the ker-
nel environment. The value is quoted when written to the
nextboot configuration.
The patch also makes -k an option (no longer mandatory). The patch is at
http://people.freebsd.org/~emaste/nextboot.diff . I'll commit it in a few
days if no concerns are raised by review or my testing.
