It's an interesting thought, not one that I'd really thought about
before.  It may be possible to do something like using guestmount[1]
to mount the guest's disk(s) and then run netcf in a chroot on those
disks.  That would seem to be the minimal disruption to netcf, but I
will have to discuss this with Laine Stump and look at the netcf code ...
