Aha! Duh! Yes, it does help. Thanks. The ``noauto'' was a recommended solution to /var getting mounted twice without it. Which I implemented without first figuring out why. Hmmm, so line 201, ``mount -a -t nonfs'' gets all non nfs mounts. Line 259 & 260 get nfs mounts of /usr and /var, after starting the network. But there would still be a problem with an nfs mount'd /var if dhclient was used, no? And with an mfs ``mount /var'' succeeds twice. Anyway it looks like I can comment the ``mount /var > /dev/null 2>&1'' safely to resolve the dhclient issue.
