We use the script below to modify the configuration based on a file stored on /cfg.

It modifies 0 or more files on /etc/ (that includes the symlinked /usr/local/etc/) before the system starts. Those are the files modified on the memory disk, not the underlying partition or /conf/etc/ dir.

Hope this helps.

# awparams with the values read in from /etc/unit_localise{.default,}.

# Note: 'hostid' has been chosen as `rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*'
# shows that one as the first one.
