Here's a small patch for /etc/netstart.
If you don't have hostname.* files (which means no ethernet), netstart gives
errors like: "netstart: cannot open /etc/netstart.netbsd". This is caused
by the way in which the arguments are expanded. I've inserted a simple check
if the file netstart wants to use for input, really exists.

Happy new year,
