It'd be cool if Linux did union mounts, too.  I don't know about
Free or NetBSD, but OpenBSD had some experimental code that would let
you mount a CD-ROM as a writable filesystem (with "-o union" or
something, I forget).  The downside is that you lose your changes when
you umount.  This is useful for things like mounting /usr/src/sys from a
CD-ROM to recompile the system if you're running low on hard disk space.
