H A Drc.initdisklessdiff 340612 Mon Nov 19 06:44:39 MST 2018 eugen MFC r339465: rc.initdiskless: add support for auxiliary NVRAM.

Currently, rc.inidiskless assumes that local system configuration
changes are kept in some mountable file system. For example,
nanobsd uses dedicated partition mounted as /cfg for this.

However, small embedded devices like MIPS routers may have no enough flash
space to keep full-blown file system but have only one or couple
small flash blocks to keep persistent local configuration overrides.

This change extends rc.initdiskless and introduces ability to run auxiliary
command /conf/T/M/extract that is supposed to extract configuration overrides
from such local storage.

For example, the command /conf/default/etc/extract may contain something like:

cd "$1" && bsdcpio --quiet -idu < /dev/map/cfg

bsdcpio command extracts compressed archive from the storage to /etc
assuming the storage is exposed by the kernel as /dev/map/cfg to userland.
