>Release:        FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE i386
>Organization:
FH Karlsruhe, University of Applied Sciences
>Environment:
System: FreeBSD RZ-Wenk1 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #2: Mon Feb 7 14:21:46 CET 2005 root@RZ-Wenk1:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/fsc-t-diskless i386

>Description:
When booting diskless the NFS filesystem for /usr is not mounted at the
time /etc/rc.d/nsswitch is executed. So there is no awk availiable which
is used in /etc/rc.d/nsswitch. /etc/rc.d/mountcritremote is executed
much later than nsswitch.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try a diskless boot and look at the output of the rc scripts.

>Fix:
A workaround it to place a copy of awk in /bin becasue the root filesystem
is already mounted.
