That's hard to do considering /var is btrfs and networking fails without
it. The symptom is quite simple, during boot I get an error that the
wrong file system type was found on one of the /dev/sd's and to check
dmesg |tail. Logging in as root and running btrfs device scan then
remounting works so I just need to ensure that gets done before the
fstab is read. It used to be that having USEBTRFS="yes" in rc.conf did
that for me, but not anymore.
