* Simplify the population of the /etc memory filesystem. To avoid

    the null mount, we currently create a temporary mfs on /tmp, copy
    /etc to /tmp, then mount /etc as mfs and copy everything back from
    /tmp, then delete the /tmp mfs.

    The patch eliminates the temporary /tmp mfs and the subsequent
    copying and simply populates the /etc mfs by copying from
    /conf/default/etc.  This requires that /conf/default/etc contain a
    complete copy of all the /etc stuff instead of just overrides.  I
    don't think that is too much of an extra step in setting up a
    diskless environment.

  * Provide the ability to make /tmp a memory filesystem independent
    of /var.  This removes the requirement that /tmp be a symlink to
    /var/tmp and this makes the diskless code work with the default
    filesystem layout.  If a seperate /tmp memory filesystem is
    created, the 'tmpsize' environment variable is used to determine
    its size (default to 10 Meg).

  * Reduce diffs between the -current and -stable versions of these
    files to a bare minimum.  Only the definition of the shell
    function 'mount_md' is different.
