System: FreeBSD foem.leiden.webweaving.org 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #1: Tue Nov 26 13:16:54 CET 2002 dirkx@foem.leiden.webweaving.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/FOEM i386

Diskless PXE boot.

>Description:

Booting diskless, using ng_rc yields the error below:

	...
	Starting file system checks:
	nfs: can't update /var/db/mounttab for 10.11.0.2:/usr/swl/release
	+++ mount_md of /var
	+++ populate /var usin

as /var/ does not yet exist.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
	Normal feature of current boot procedure.

>Fix:

	Possibly a special flag to nfsiod to NOT write
	such or write such to another location which
	may exist.

	Carefull shuffling of the rc order.
