We also had to put one file into the etc directory on the / "beneath" the /etc

I've been bitten by that.

Getting access to that file that's "beneath" once you've booted the system can 
be ... less than easy.

if it's hardlinked to another copy that is not "beneath" then you can just edit it.

I once had a system at vicor where I had a temporary "beneath" /etc that had all its files linked to files of the same name in /etc.boot/
