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.
