I'll commit this to rc.diskless1

    +if [ -z "`hostname -s`" ]; then
    +        hostname=`kenv dhcp.host-name`
    +        hostname $hostname
    +        echo "Hostname is $hostname"
    +fi

BUT you've missed the point with this point:
    +else
    +        mount_md 4096 /conf/etc 0
    +        chkerr $? "MFS mount on /conf/etc"
    +        mount -t unionfs /conf/etc /etc
    +        /bin/chmod 755 /etc
    +        find /etc > /dev/null
    +        touch /etc/.sentinel

That being that some of us actually WANT /etc to be left the fsck alone.
We NFS mount / and that / has /etc as it should be.  I also cannot follow
what you are trying to do with /etc/conf.  Perhaps you could comment that
part?
