i was thinking of adding something like this to dhcp:
option FBSD.rc-conf "132.65.16.100:/c/conf/rc.conf.foo";
and bootp can then tftp/nfs the file and parse it, making the result available
via kenv
and there is no real problem to concatenate serveral conf files - just comming
up
with a nice/simple syntax :-)
as a proof of concept, there is no major problem to tftp this, but only from
one/initial
host, to make it realy flexible there is one major obstacle, the stand alone
io has to be
modified/augmented/complicated to have more than one socket. so,
1- is there a market for this?
2- is this a bad idea?
3- any work done already?
