I got around the commit issue by having a UFS formatted floppy with a
"etc" directory. In the mfs.rc script, before ". rc", I attempt to
mount the floppy, and if successful, copy the contents of "etc" overtop of
"/etc". That way, I can fine tune my configuration without reburning CDs.
When you have a configure that is good, put the changes into you pico
tree, build and burn.
