Well, I promised to be in on this. I had some nice changes that I made but
decided that I should hold off (and then I subsequently lost them, long
story). I've switched jobs and only now have had time to resurface. I'm
very interested in this as well. I'll be installing a current box and will
be tweaking the rc.d system.

Although, I don't have the unemployed status, I'm still interested in the
development of this.

Here's my big question. Do we try to maintain our boot order? Or are we
going to go with the boot order as presented by the NetBSD stuff?
