Funny, I've just done something semilar, a complete NFS server on
a floppy, including mirroring, quota, NIS etc.
Having NIS takes care of the passwd problems, and leaves room
for the symbol db's so ps & friends works.
Its on a MFS filesys though, buts that more for practical reasons,
reset the sucker and everything works again, and it can be on a
writeprotected floppy (can you say sysadm proof : )).
