Profile rc idea

[Yves Guérin]

Dear Doug,

I will do some doc to explain what I have done, I will try to produce a patch but my coding style may not follow the freebsd style and a review form the freebsd team will be necessary.

Regards,

Yves Guerin

I really like the idea of leveraging the existing boot menu for this.
Can you send your patches to the list?
