:I mean, that if I do the change of startup-order, diskless

    I do not like the idea of moving portmap or mountd.  An NFS client
    should not have to run either, *even* for diskless boot.

    What's all this about loopback mounts in fstab about?  What does
    that have to do with diskless startup?
