Apparently my wording was in-exact. What I meant to ask was: "Is it okay to run multiple *simultaneous* installworlds off the same NFS server?" The comment that /usr/src and /usr/obj can be mounted RO seems to indicate that this should work. When did this ability happen? I couldn't make it work without -maproot=0 a month ago. Or is that a different problem?
