  Log:
  Forced commit to provide background for previous delta:
  
  There are two reasons why automounting remote filesystems can't be
  delayed until after network initialization:
  
  1) The right way would be to teach mount to distinguish between network
     filesystems and local filesystems.  This is not as easy as it was for
     df, because the latter only has to cope with filesystems for which
     kernel support is already present.
  
  2) The easy way (see rev 1.268 of src/etc/rc for an extensible example)
     is made awkward by a problem reported by dougb and addressed in
     rev 1.286 of src/etc/rc, where mount_nfs misuses vfsload() and does
     not correctly arrage for the loading of nfsclient support.
  
  Since neither of these problems looks like it will be solved before
  4.5-RELEASE, the previous delta to this file provides a safety belt,
  which I'd like to encourage folks to use by applying a change to
  sysinstall, described in a message sent to the freebsd-audit list
  (Message-ID <5062.1008868549@axl.seasidesoftware.co.za>).
