Danny, What do you think about doing a little more polishing and rolling a new set of patches taking this /etc/rc.conf option into account? Your kernel env dhcp variables are really good. I know that many do want to do what you are doing (large scale RO /); but up until now /etc/rc.diskless* has not been well engineered. On Wed, Apr 24, 2002 at 07:44:20PM -0600, M.
