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.
