While thinking along these lines, what will we do on sparc64 systems,
which will generally print a hostid on the console at boot time which
will be significantly different to the one that we'll be presenting
within FreeBSD on those systems?

I suspect that this is just a documentation issue, but it would be
somewhat confusing.
