>Environment:


System: NetBSD s012 4.0 NetBSD 4.0 (NSW-S012) #9: Fri Mar 13 12:31:52 CET 2009 wgstuken@s012:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/NSW-S012 amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
	In order to setup an srt interface the config utility program srtconfig(1) is needed.
	But this program is located in /usr/sbin and /usr is still not mounted when the interface configuration is setup by the rc-scripts.
	So it is impossible to initialize srt interfaces during startup due to the not available configuration utility program.
>How-To-Repeat:
	setup an ifconfig.srt<x> and try to configure it during boot - the /usr is still not mounted and the setup will fail. /usr/sbin7srtconfig is not available
>Fix:
	move the srtconfig utility program from /usr/sbin to /sbin.
	All other config utilities (link e.g. pppoectl) are located in /sbin too.

 Just for the record, an obvious workaround is to add /usr to 
 critical_filesystems_local in rc.conf, like

   critical_filesystems_local="$critical_filesystems_local /usr"
