>Description:
'logger' is called in err/warn in rc.subr without checking whether it
is there. a default install without configuring network results in a
spurious warning because rc.d/network is run before /usr is mounted.

Starting network.
logger: not found
/etc/rc: WARNING: $hostname not set.

>How-To-Repeat:
install with sysinst, don't configure hostname, observe warning.

>Fix:
I have fixed this in rc.subr v1.51 and requested a pullup to -1-6.

This is priority 'high' because it looks bad on a freshly installed
system where network was not configured (a reasonable thing to do if
installing from eg. cdrom).
