shutdown diskless RH6.1

[pablo mitchell <pablo_mitchell@yahoo.com>]

the fix for proper shutdown of a diskless, root NFS
mounted linux box given below by ken yap works fine
under redhat5.  

unfortunately, the fix doesn't seem to work for
redhat6.1.

has anyone else encountered/fixed the below problem
for redhat6.1?

help would be appreciated.
