:Would it be worth establishing a /etc/vkernel.conf file that contains
:different profiles (selecting DHCP, which /boot/loader.conf, etc) in the
:simple 'x=y' format above?

:Given profiles could be grouped by name in that file, and then the name of
:the profile could be supplied as the argument to the vkernel, saving a lot
:of typing. Multiple vkernels with the same profile can then be created by
:specifying a class instead of explicit options every time, and we can ship
:with a default profile.
Excellent idea, plus also add an option to allow a different conf file
to be specified for flexibility.
The format could be something simple like:
label:
variable=data
variable=data
variable=data
variable=data
label:
...
