netstart in /etc/rc

[Gregory Steuck <greg_(_at_)_nest_(_dot_)_cx>]

Hello,

Is there any reason for /etc/rc executing netstart before /usr and /var are
mounted? Is that to allow NFS mounted /usr & /var?

# set hostname, turn on network
echo 'starting network'
. /etc/netstart

# pf

mount /usr >/dev/null 2>&1
mount /var >/dev/null 2>&1

It bit me when I tried to invoke /usr/sbin/arp from /etc/hostname.if and
my /usr is a separate fs.

Thanks
Greg
