 Hi,
 
 I've tested this with a read only nfs file system on NetBSD 6.1.1 although I 
 had to specify -r to vnconfig the vnd creation succeeded.
 
 The -r option has existed since rev 1.26 (2003) of vnconfig.c.
 
 This didn't exist when the PR was submitted and I think the -r option 
 addresses this PR unless it is desirable to have vnconfig fall back to a read 
 only device creation.
 
 Regards,
 
 Nat.
