After making another diskless distribution, I found out that the 
'Operation not supported' error comes out because of calling flock() on 
nfs. For example:

---------------
sendmail_submit: /etc/mail/aliases.db not present, generating
cannot flock(/etc/mail/aliases, fd=3, type=6, omode=4002, euid=0): 
Operation not supported
--------------

The same message (Operation not supported) comes when creating the pid 
file /var/log/syslogd.pid. The /var/log filesystem is writeable. Is it  
possible that flock() is not implementedon nfs? :-(
