That's fair. Let me explain my purpose. I have created a LiveUSB for
testing and hardware diagnostics with dualboot: FreeBSD amd64 and
i386. I was looking for a way for them to share a common /etc.

If there is no easy way, I can rsync changes of /etc from one system
to another on shutdown, or find something else.
