Sorry if this is a newbie question:

I'm looking to tune (amongst others) kern.ipc.semmni; looking at the
code (sys/kern/sysv_sem.c) the value seems pretty hardwired - proof
against anything short of a kernel rebuild.

The man page for loader(8) and tuning(7), there's a reasonably small set
of tunable sysctls that are settable as the kernel loads. My question
is: is this list definitive? - or does the loader perform some boot-time
magic* to locate and set other sysctls?

As well as (or instead of) a simple "yes" or "no", I'd appreciate a
pointer as to the right bit of the source tree to be looking through.
Alas, it's about 20 years since I last looked at Forth :-(

Cheers,
jan

* ok, some _more_ boottime magic
