Hi.
I have diskless-PC which was used /boot/pxeboot. But latest
FreeBSD-current is output below messages and some fsck_nfs problem.
WARNING: MFS is being phased out in preference for md devices
WARNING: Please see mdconfig(8) for details
WARNING: Continuing in 15 seconds
Does someone already rewrite and use mdconfig in /etc/rc.diskless1
and diskless2?
Yes, please find attached; if someone wants to clean these up and commit
them, I'd be greatly indebted.
You also need to apply this diff to /etc/rc (warning, cut-n-paste damage):

to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force
people to take different points of view. [Dr. Fritz Todt]
