I tried your suggestion and it still showing the same error msg. Afterwards I went to the extent of re-creating the CF card and still shows the same errors:

Given there is no root vol for this host yet I'm confused as to where it is trying to access '/etc/nsswitch.conf' and '/var/log/mlogd-start.log' from.
