apb 06dcf00819 Document that the kernel may try several paths for init.
XXX: This should be in the kernel documentation, not in the init(8) man page.

apb c654f7abce When creating /dev in a memory file system, include all three of
MAKEDEV, MAKEDEV.subr and MAKEDEV.local in the set of files that are
copied if they exist.

Now booting an INSTALL kernel with an embedded ramdisk correctly creates
/dev again, fixing a problem introduced when MAKEDEV.subr was created a
few days ago.

elad 172a3fa471 Remove securelevel-related text from init(8) man-page as they're now in
secmodel_bsd44(9).

I'm not sure I agree with the BUGS section, but for now move it to
secmodel_bsd44(9) as well.

salo b0b7590bc7 Add support for running multi-user in a chroot() environment.
How it works:

- after successful execution of /etc/rc, check the value of "init.root"
  sysctl node, if it's different than "/", chroot() into its value and run
  /etc/rc inside the chroot(),

- in single-user, return back to the original / file system.

Allows running with / file system on e.g., cgd(4), vnd(4) or ccd(4) volumes.

Idea first discussed with Matt Thomas, implemented by Jachym Holecek <freza
(at) liberouter.org> with some nitpicks by me.  Successfully used by me for
almost a year with / on a cgd(4) volume (for more information about the setup
check ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/salo/init-chroot/ ).

elad 03e754fd4d The securelevel does not affect whether Veriexec's tables can be modified;
this is now controlled by Veriexec's strict level.
