Seems the "if [ -d ]" tests in rc.diskless are OK already.  If we add
this knob, then a knob should also be added for the source of the files
rather than assuming /conf/etc or /conf/{client}/etc.  In other words
either really engineer this to make diskless properly configurable, or
have the minimal number of knobs, etc.
