 I have the same problem on 5.3
 
 I intend a remote (not local memory disk) /etc and remote /var, but the 
 initdiskless routine fails the mount_nfs in the 
 ..serverdiskless-root:/conf/{ip address}/etc/diskless_remount because 
 mount_nfs wants to update /var/db/mounttab, which at that point is 
 read-only.  Hence it fails.
