Hm, I didn't think of that when I tried it. IIRC the redbook did mention to replace the /etc/mtab on the / disk with a sym-link but didn't mention to also replace it on the RW disk that is bind mounted. So that's keeping my /etc from umount.
Also, I did replace it once and found the boot.rootfsck to remove the mtab (or the link to /proc/mounts) and recreate a new mtab. Yes, that was before the / went RO. After that a link can't be removed obviously. Berry.
