Init.c, making it chroot

That's nice. But NetBSDs init.c executes /etc/rc before calling 
chroot(), and that's what i'm looking for, and for a moment tried to 
implement, but i'm not very familiar with FreeBSD code :)

For example that kenv() came to me as a suprise. I'll have to try to 
implement the NetBSD way where /etc/rc is executed before chroot(). 
Ofcourse now that i dont have to use sysctls, it's alot easier.
