Ok, here is a patch for /etc/rc.d/initdiskless. Note, I currently don't
have a diskless system to test on, I'm still looking for some PXE hardware
that isn't being used in production that I can use to work with cleaning
up the diskless environment for 5.x. So, I make no promises. :)

Now, in addition to this you will need my other patch that moves gzip to
/bin instead of /usr/bin. You can download it at
http://208.4.77.15/gzip-to-bin.tgz
To add it to your source tree: cd /usr/src (or your respective directory)
; tar zxvf /path/to/gzip-to-bin.tgz ; rm -rf gnu/usr.bin/gzip
Then a regular build/install world, and you'll have to remake your NFS
mounted root. I tested this patch with a build/install world this morning.
