The answer to this question is YES! ;-) My life would be so much easier if thinking straight came naturally... The answer to my problem is that my idea that the NFS root was somehow failing to mount was incorrect. This meant that the boot process was stopping later and /etc/rc.diskless1 was/is indeed being invoked. Consequently that script was mounting a new MFS root over /etc, and trying to copy from /conf/base/etc (which I had been too lazy to create). The solution therefore is to either remove /etc/rc.diskless[12] or to create /conf/base/etc so that there is a valid /etc at the end of the boot process. Thanks for your time Eduardo! cheers, Will
