I do not see why the /var dirs should be created by bootmisc - add your own
script, and add it to critical services list (see bug #97210).  Same thing for
unmounting /initrd - do it in your own nfsroot script or something.

Also, for the start_volumes, just set RC_VOLUME_ORDER="" in /etc/conf.d/rc if
you do not want any volumes started.

Lastly, setting NFSBOOT="yes" in livecd-functions.sh will only be seen if using
bootsplash, as that is the only time the script is present (we moved it) - so
generally the wrong place to try and do that.  Anyhow, im sure Mike said nfs
works fine if your setup is proper .. Mike ?
