Ok, that's fine too. Now when I know that (also) is not a supported way
to keep a diskless client on -stable, I will have to find another way.

I'll try copying from an existing installation, and if that proves to be
too problematic, I guess I just have to check out the OPENBSD_6_1 branch
and build a new release (which I really had hoped I would not have to
do).

This is no criticism, I'm just happy that the use cases for syspatch are
sorted out.  I'll sort my diskless machines out eventually.


Thanks,
Kusalananda
