Hello!
I've got a freebsd box with a 2Gb hard drive and a server with a lot of free space. I want
to make use of nfs and let the "small" box mount most of its directories in read-write mode from
the server. What directories are safe to be moved to a remote location? The idea is that should
the server go down, the box must still be bootable and accessible via ssh.
I've read hier manual page, but it doesn't go deep into how bad the system need each
directory at startup - and how heavy access is to each folder during normal operation.
Can the system boot into multi-user mode in case /usr fails to mount?
I'd say "no" to that last; not.without some modifications (and I wouldn't care
to speculate on the advisability of that). Here's the first obvious problem I see:

No tty's are available without /usr ....
