svn commit: r289336 - head/sys/mips/conf

[Warner Losh]

std.oceton1 would follow the pattern. The whole _BASE stuff was a reinvention
of the pattern. I’ve been loathe to go in and clean it up, since to do that properly
would requiring rm -rf /usr/src/usr.sbin/config and starting over, and I don’t have
that kind of time...
