Unbound host_entries.conf warnings on console during boot

FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE

During boot the console displays:

Warning: file_put_contents(/var/unbound/host_entries.conf): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /etc/inc/unbound.inc on line 507

After boot is finished /var/unbound/host_entries.conf is there and has good data.
I guess this is another timing issue while the system is getting going. Again, no idea if these messages have been around for a while - have not looked too hard at console output since I enabled DNS Resolver (unbound).

Sample console output of the pfSense bit of a boot:

It was another startup sequence thing - /var/unbound dir was not being created until late in the boot when the full unbound was configured and started.
Fixed for me by:
