I tried putting 2.0 on a machine with 40meg.  25 meg /, 15 meg swap, and /usr
over nfs.  Confused me to death why it would boot right until I really looked
hard at /etc/rc.

nfs mounts are not done until after several programs in /usr are run.  I had
to mount /usr specifically before then.  It only works because I have a default
router.  I don't expect the this configuration to be supported by default but
it might be a nice addition to the gotcha file.

excerpt....
# set hostname, turn on network
echo 'starting network'
. /etc/netstart

# grab user                        <------------------------
echo 'mounting /usr'              #<------------------------

mount -a -t nfs >/dev/null 2>&1   #<------------------------

# clean up left-over files
....
