'k, I'm clueless on diskless, so this may or may not be doable ... but would it 
be possible to cp the bsdstats file from the 'disk mount server' to 
/var/db/bsdstats on reboot?

Say, something scripted like:

if [ ! -f /var/db/bsdstats ]; then
  if [ -f <remotemount>/bsdstats.`hostname` ]; then
     cp <remotemount>/bsdstats.`hostname` /var/db/bsdstats
  else
     run 300.statistics
     cp /var/db/bsdstats <remotemount>/bsdstats.`hostname`
  fi
fi

Add something like that (real code at least) to the init/rc file used on the 
diskless station, to be run after all mounts are up?
