I am getting this message when booting a diskless node. I do not have a net.br0 link within /etc/runlevels/boot, nor do I have a br interfaced configured within /etc/conf.d/net, so I'm still not sure why it's trying to start. I do have 802.1d bridging configured in the kernel.

Any thoughts?

Code:
* Bringing up interface br0
*   ERROR: interface br0 does not exist
*   Ensure that you have loaded the correct kernel module for your hardware
*   ERROR: net.br0 failed to start
*   ERROR: cannot start netmount as net.br0 would not start

Sounds like your computer tried starting netmount. To remove it:
Code:
# /etc/init.d/netmount stop && rc-update del netmount

Then again check rc-config show --all.

Well, it is a diskless node which mounts it's file system from an NFSv4 export from the main node. The boot process ends up w/ the following, so I am unable to yet login to the console.
Code:
INIT: Id "c1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel

And therefore rc-update isn't an option. And even if it were, / is read-only. My RW's are tmpfs's. Any adjustments to /etc/runlevels is done manually w/ sym links. Besides, I believe I require netmount. I actually have a few other errors afterwards, but I'm taking it one error at a time.

Can you chroot into that box? Then set rc_interactive="YES" in /etc/rc.conf and on beginning of reboot press I to get into the interactive mode.
There you will see which service starts the br0 crap.

try '/etc/init.d/net.br0 needsme'
Also, it provides net, needed by quite a few daemons, so if you set rc_br0_provide=" !net" those services will no longer start it. Not 100% sure about exact variable name, but you certainly get the point.
