	Diskless machines, booting with pxeboot et.al.
	under 5.2.1 and above.

>Description:
	Right now during a diskless boot /conf/default, /conf/b-cast
	and /conf/ip address is checked for system specific configs.

	As some configs are very tied to HW, rather than to the subnet
	the HW happens to be used with - it can be useful to tie certain
	configs to the mac address.

	The patch below add this facilities very much along the
	lines of that supported by Solaris.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Patch, reboot diskless machine.

>Fix:
