Booting a system now with this.

This should also come in handy in what I told Simon and Eirik to hack
on, if they were bored.  We need some way of selecting a profile at the
start of the boot (or perhaps when it start the rc system).  That way
you can easily say to a laptop that you are at home now, or at work, or
at customer X' site.

And for servers who only need one profile you could just set a variable
which basically says, forget about the profiles.

If other people feel like they want to hack on this, be my guest, it is
sorely needed.
