The veriable $HN_DIR is set in /etc/netstart on line 166 but used only once (line 78). The diff below makes use of $HN_DIR in the other cases where netstart cares of ip address configuration.
With below change I can maintain different sets (think "profiles") of hostname.if(5) files in separate directories and use them e.g. like this: "env HN_DIR=/etc/myprofile sh /etc/netstart" Even without such use case it's at least a consistency fix.
