As I understand it, /etc does have to be on /. So you will need to
either set up network user authentication, or live with any local users
not being able to change their passwords (or possibly symlink
/etc/shadow off /, but I’d expect trouble with that idea…)

There used to be problems with /etc/mtab, but now that’s just a symlink
to /proc/mounts, that isn’t a problem any more.

Hope this helps,

James.
