Actually, we need to re-think this. In our situation (again, not PXE
boot, but CF card mounted read-only), dhclient is currently run after
the diskless script (thus it can't plum the system's resolv.conf,
hostnamed and related). See below...

How do you (rcNG folks) recommend we fix this? I guess we can break
diskless up into two scripts?
