The problem isn't writable, the problem is that it needs to be *there*
under /etc. As it stands now, things in /mnt/runtime either need modified
to look in a different /etc/, or have their required /etc files installed
in stage1.

Again, that means putting any required /var things in stage1, and requires
that everyone know that you can't just put /etc or /var stuff in KEEPFILES
and expect it to work.
