I don't see why... surely the rcorder script could be improved to take a
few more options:

     -r      Add the specified keyword to the ``require list''. If any -r
             option is given, only those files necessary to provide the
             matching keyword are listed.

     -p      Treat the specified keyword as already provided. Dependencies
             on this keyword will not be considered.

(It's late, and I can't think whether that's enough to make rcorder -p
mountall ... ignore everything that happens before mountall, but that's
my intention)


Then you can do something along the lines of:


files=`rcorder -s nostart -r mountall /etc/rc.d/*`

for i in $files; do
        run_rc_script $i start
done

morefiles=`rcorder -s nostart -p mountall /etc/rc.d/* /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/*`

for i in $morefiles; do
        run_rc_script $i start
done



Actually... not even sure -p is necessary... by the time we have /usr
mounted, we could just as well do:


morefiles=`rcorder -s nostart /etc/rc.d/* /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/*`

for i in $morefiles; do
        if echo $files | grep -v -q $i
        then
                run_rc_script $i start
        fi
done
