--- Comment #2 from Ian Lepore <ian at FreeBSD.org> ---
Finally got around to doing something with this, sorry for the long delay.

I took the attached patch and reworked it so that any value delivered from the
server that gets automatically set into the dhcp.* env vars can now be
overridden with values the platform-specific part of loader(8) has preloaded
into the environment.  The rootpath and hostname global vars used by other
networking code in libstand will be overridden in addition to the automatic
dhcp.* vars.

I also took the patch from the mailing list thread that sets env vars from the
efi loader command line and prepared it for commit.

The patches have been turned into a pair of phabricator reviews:
