it is not something i forgot --
the problem is, i don't have the resources to run a 4.0 machine,
and so i cannot test these things. As a consequence, i probably
committed the -stable version near to a release (with appropriate
permissions) to fix the problems there, but i could not do the
job for 4.0 due to lack of resources.

i suggest that you try and find a committer which can do appropriate
tests.
BTW -- i attach to this msg a small script (/etc/diskless/clone_root,
whatever it should go e.g. /usr/share/example/diskless/) that i
routinely use to create/populate a shared readonly diskless root.
This ought to be committed at some point,maybe with appropriate cleanup.
cheers
