How does one create an /etc from src/etc. There does not seem to be a make target in
the main Makefile at the top of the hierarchy.

You might find mergemaster helpful

'mergemaster' seems to have gotten most of the things in the right place. The other wyrd problem
I had was since I was booting off of a linux box using an nfs mounted root, there seems to be a
problem with 'file locking' and 'pidfile_open'. In looking into it the linux box should have handled
nfs file locking, but perhaps not.

Also, as I'm using an nfs mounted file system for my 'root', there seems to be a problem with
flock for the calls to 'pidfile_open' and perhaps other calls. Using 'rc.initdiskless' doesn't seem
to over come these problems.

Thanks,
John Clark.
