 Actually, we need to re-think this.  In our situation (again, not PXE
 boot, but CF card mounted read-only), dhclient is currently run after
 the diskless script (thus it can't plum the system's resolv.conf,
 hostnamed and related).  See below...

 How do you (rcNG folks) recommend we fix this?  I guess we can break
 diskless up into two scripts?
