The way I configure rtems-libbsd is to use '/etc/rc.conf'. I create or install a
'/etc/rc.conf' file then ask for the stack to be initialised. An example from a
zynq based board using the RTEMS shell is:

-------------------------
[/] # cat /etc/rc.conf
#
# My Zynq LibBSD Configuration
#

hostname="XXX-YYY-ZZZ"
ifconfig_cgem0="DHCP rxcsum txcsum"
ifconfig_cgem0_alias0="ether 00:aa:bb:cc:00:01"

dhcpcd_priority="200"
dhcpcd_options="--nobackground --timeout 10"

telnetd_enable="YES"
-------------------------

In my code I have:

  r = rtems_bsd_run_etc_rc_conf(15, true);
  if (r < 0)
    printf("error: loading BSD /etc/rc.conf failed: %s\n", strerror(errno));

There are other variants of this call you can use. Please refer to the header
file in the source for details.

You can find out more about 'rc.conf' from the FreeBSD man pages. Only a subset
of the documented and available options for FreeBSD are available on RTEMS.
Currently the source code is best place to see what is available.
