I heartily concur about the "altroot" thing. It should die. Removing that 
part from the Solaris/SunOS emulation is probably worthwhile, and then 
eventually when/if we end up having a working unionfs, that (along with 
solaros/sunos-emulation specific mounts) should be able to replace the 
need for altroot.
