I don't know what will havppen to that file as you do various upgrades,
but I know there is some way to set it on bootup, either as a kernel
option or in an early script (rcS.d?). I had to do this on an old
server which is now in the dumpster...
I know this isn't much help, but at least you know there's another
approach as well.
