Leland,
For you "shared root crazies" out there, how did you get /etc to unmount

Or perhaps a better question is "How did you get /etc to *mount*?"
As I recall the install programs will not allow /etc to be a mounted file
system. This makes some sense as the file system table (fstab) is in
/etc/ - so there's a chicken-and-egg problem with /etc being specified as
a file system in /etc.
A little while ago, I wanted to make a system with / on nfs, with the
ability to run multiple copies of it. Sorta like what you're talking about.
I finished up front-ending the startup scripts to mount various places,
including /etc. with tmpfs and then. where appropriate, populating the
filesystem.
Cheers
John
