OK, I can accept that position.

I still need to mount some shared volumes from the server to each of the 
diskless clients, i.e. volumes which I cannot duplicate first on the 
server for use ONLY by diskless clients.

Where do I configure that into the etc/fstab file seen by each snapshot 
copy, so that EACH diskless clients can mount the same set of additional 
NFS volumes?

Is there documentaion for redhat-config-netbot somewhere? I searched in 
vain.
