I think this is fine as is.
There's no need to check for nfs in the middle of a string, unless there's some use case I'm unaware of...

What's your device model? (based on other sources your patch looks correct. Maybe my firmware is too old for this feature)

Seems legit

It really needs someone familiar with bootstrapping to review this.
(Except for being the nfs case, it really has nothing to do with nfs.)

@rmacklem, 'vfs.root.mountroot' is used as a kernel parameter to specify (or override) where is the root filesystem to be mounted and its partition type. It's usually something like "vfs.root.mountroot=ufs:/dev/da0s1a" if you use a local disk, or "vfs.root.mountroot=nfs:192.168.0.1:/tftpboot/root" if using nfs.

use strncmp instead of strstr in order to match only the beginning of the string

Beyond changing strstr() to a check for "nfs:" at the beginning of the
string, as suggested by sjg@, I don't see a problem with this.

Anything new on this?

edit: commented on wrong revision

Suspending this since it requires changes to continue.
The OS revision part is now being discussed in D34429.

Abandoned due to https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=298c3e8d6b6405cbea13a7a1a1fbc1ad5a45c378

You may cherry pick https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/53fc5d9b9a0110f097c6e9f7aa3bff3621eaf268 to avoid the local changes.

Or maybe not, I can see some ARM configs also have this, along with comment [KEEP THIS!].

sys/powerpc/conf/MPC85XXSPE also includes COMPAT_43. That should also be removed.

Looks good.

add ports package versions and adjust comments

looking better! Thanks for splitting out the style changes.
Just a couple of bits of feedback for comments.

• style change commited with hash 8d1ab5ad8449e6f51f081e261ed6202a0483a595
• removed COMPAT_FREEBSD8 from config files, since it doesn't exist.

Makes sense. In that case, I think this is good
