This doesn't hurt if it _does_ happen to have a valid rc.conf. See my explanation below. >=20 > Can that be removed?

If the server has RCNG Not necessarily. There are instances (like my setup, for example) where the root file system for the diskless machine is a subdirectory of the servers root file system. In other words the diskless machine doesn't use the server's / partition because I use 'make DESTDIR=3D/diskless/current' when creating the filesystem for it.
