>Description:
The root_rw_mount variable which is evaluated in /etc/rc.d/root is,
even in the case of a diskless boot, undefined. This causes a diskless
boot with a read only root filesystem to fail.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try a diskless boot with readonly root filesystem or search for another
occurence of root_rw_mount in the source other than /usr/src/etc/rc.d/root.
>Fix:
Until there is a better solution, like the detection of a read only root
filesystem in "the right place", add root_rw_mount="YES" to /etc/rc.conf.
