>Environment:
System: FreeBSD RZ-Wenk1 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #2: Mon Feb 7 14:21:46 CET 2005 root at RZ-Wenk1:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/fsc-t-diskless i386

>Description:
When booting diskless the NFS filesystem for /usr is not mounted at the
time /etc/rc.d/var is executed. So there is no /usr/sbin/mtree,
/usr/sbin/newsyslog, /usr/bin/touch and /usr/bin/awk availiable.
See also problem report 77340.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try a diskless boot and look at the output of the rc scripts.

>Fix:
As a workaround extend the root filesystem /usr directory with bin and sbin
directories and copy the neccesary files (mtree, touch, newsyslog and awk
(see pr 77340)) into them.
