If you really want to keep /etc as a separate filesystem, then I would
try something like this:
1. Create the file /etc-mount and give it the following contents:
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/mount /dev/ada0pX /etc
exec /etc/rc $*
2. Make sure to substitute the right device file for the mount
command.
2. Make /etc-mount executable: chmod a+x /etc-mount
3. On the root filesystem, let /etc/rc be a symlink to /etc-mount.
This is just off the top of my head. It may work, or it may not work.
HTH.
