Generally speaking, a separate /etc partition is A Bad Thing(TM), and a sign you're doing things wrong. However, nanobsd does (partially) separate /etc out, and it does so using /etc/rc.initdiskless and its early (pre-rc) mounting code. Take a look at rc.initdiskless and the nanobsd code in /usr/src/tools/tools/nanobsd/nanobsd.sh if you really want to go down this route. -- In the dungeons of Mordor, Sauron bred Orcs with LOLcats to create a new race of servants.
