Well, you could always replace the ifconfig link with the non-crunchgen-ed
binary.  But that may require jettisoning some thing, say the kernel binary.
But if you netboot you don't need the kernel binary on the image.

As far as I know, this problem still exists in -current.

Yes, that would be best.
