State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: dougb
State-Changed-When: Sat Dec 31 07:54:00 UTC 2011
State-Changed-Why: 

1. What you're talking about is an extreme edge case. If you can't figure
out how to properly configure these systems, then simply removing the script
from /etc/rc.d is enough.

2. Don't attempt to mount critical remote file systems using DNS names. This
has been true for as long as I can remember. 

3. If you have critical remote systems that you can't afford to have hang
in single user mode, put a serial console on them.

Meta-notes:

1. I obeyed your disclaimer text and removed the second patch that you sent.

2. It hasn't been "rcng" for a long time now. The preferred term is rc.d.
