 I have used the structures that already exists.. for bootp or
pxe purposes...
 Maybe you did not understand my patch (terrible english :), but I'm using
the loader.conf file to set that variables, and that ones (for bootp/pxe)
have a pattern, i think that follow it is nice. The variables are (i
guess) for autoconfiguration task (in boot)... So boot.netif.hostname is
not the same as kern.hostname.
 But this decision for me is irrelevant, the devel man will decide what is
better. :))
 Thansk for your motivation.
