>Description:

	certain parts of the boot sequence are very hard coded.  ie, there is no
	way besides changing /etc/rc (something i'd rather not do) to not start
	the printer, or, if my previous PR is applied, to start screenblank with
	any options.

	the `network' daemons configured via /etc/netstart have all this
	functionality, however, allowing you start various daemon, and also what
	options they use.  it's configurable and useful.  and i miss it for the
	other things.

	actually, some of these aren't as configurable as would be good.  you
	can't give nfsd (or mountd), or nfsiod options.

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:

	maybe we need another file that is sourced by /etc/rc, similarly to
	/etc/netstart, that sets a few variables that are used.  the programs
	that i think this should be done to are:

	portmap
	ypbind (maybe)
	nfsd
	nfsiod
	rwhod (needs $rwhod_flags, really).
	lpd
	screenblank (if/when added).


	i don't have any ideas on what to all this file should be called.
