"notice layered mounts are gone".

I have understood from all sides the union mount implementation was bad and 
buggy, so no problem with that.

My question is: What are the options for a pretty complete OpenBSD boot-cd 
without layered mounts?

(My question is not about an "incomplete" OpenBSD system with just firewall or 
other router functionality.)

null and union mounts have been deleted.  if you are using them and 
tracking current, you will have pain when you reboot.

Theo says: "union mounting is now officially unsupported.  we give up.
 in 15 years
of hacking, noone has gotten it working bug free.  it is time we gave up
and mark it unuseable."

GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?
