>Description:
When trying to use the remount_optional option on a nanobsd like build that was going to run from an iso image with an optional remount of /dev/ufs/cfg onto /conf/default/etc I discovered that it doesn't actually work.
When remount_optional is present it will always print the error message "mount -o ro /dev/ufs/cfg /conf/default/etc failed: ignoring due to remount_optional" even when the mount succeeds. And when the mount fails it still drops into a shell.
A simple fix to the problem is attached.
