>Description:
Right now the only 'writable' in /etc is resolv.conf. Which is accessed by rc.diskless1 or rc/initdiskless.
During diskless boot and RO boot from flash one may want to map it 'out' of there using for example a sym link to /var/tmp or /var/run in order not to be forced to do a 4Mb overlay in memory of /etc.
However the writable versions of these do at that point not yet exist.
So it would be nice to either detect this early and/or later in the process again try to create a /etc/resolv.conf when /var is known to exist.
