>Description:
	
	gmirror(8) has NOTES section on doing kernel dumps to gmirror
	providers and wanting to use a different balance algorithm through use
	of /etc/rc.early and /etc/rc.local.

	But, /etc/rc.early is no more.
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:

	

	Provide an alternative solution to /etc/rc.early, such as create
	an equilavalent /etc/rc.d/early? create some other /etc/rc.d/<file>
	that is "BEFORE: dumpon"?  Some other way?

	Plus the original early script wouldn't work, since it would get called
	after dumpon.  Since it is "REQUIRE: disks" while dumpon is
	"BEFORE: disks".
