Description Dirk-Willem van Gulik 2002-06-15 23:10:01 UTC 
Unlike virtually all other aspects; there seems to be no clean way in /etc[/default/]rc.conf to switch off the running of /etc/rc.syscons.

Fix: 

add a flag to /etc/default/rc.conf and pick it up in /etc/rc
How-To-Repeat: set up a diskless machine according to diskless(8)

You can simply remove /etc/rc.syscons file, to stop running.  If you
don't want to do so, you can also set some variable to stop all
/etc/rc.syscons setup effective.

Doesn't it work for you?

Everything in rc.syscons is already controlled by a knob, and as 
was already said, if you don't like having it run, just rm it.

I'm looking more closely at /etc stuff again.
