I haven't changed the keymap names, though. I think it would be a POLAA violation because users may be using it already even though it didn't work in sysinstall and then they would have to fix their rc.conf manually after such a rename. I'll keep this in patched state for a further MFC. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=67365 From owner-freebsd-sysinstall@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Jul 19 23:32:49 2010 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-sysinstall@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CC048106566B; Mon, 19 Jul 2010 23:32:49 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from sektie@gmail.com) Received: from mail-vw0-f54.google.com (mail-vw0-f54.google.com [209.85.212.54]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6AB118FC16; Mon, 19 Jul 2010 23:32:48 +0000 (UTC) Received: by vws19 with SMTP id 19so6573090vws.13 for ; Mon, 19 Jul 2010 16:32:47 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:mime-version:received:sender:received :in-reply-to:references:date:x-google-sender-auth:message-id:subject :from:to:cc:content-type:content-transfer-encoding; bh=0PWcpYQAn6LwaYar13KRWVjXwg5dwITbegd+ZP3gqlc=; b=SzlQ95ZSImkq3yexyAzmz5SGk1y4v/mexJAECYNtkoGz4BUjI9pGlhoVbkWEMl1cUb tefx4aWYkGcnEEXB9YZ27Prs+H0gz5WBPpd9c9ElrwlyfVvbNv8fVdMO6M0zTVd0BnYR VE7Xye7eM0t5SXVTAeiQQ2jGtlWqC37UjiPAQ= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=mime-version:sender:in-reply-to:references:date :x-google-sender-auth:message-id:subject:from:to:cc:content-type :content-transfer-encoding; b=IFrglWpBIUfgAjHWDXJFG1k/eck6cZZXP7HKtbI2DQnyqV7T8K7Oo+N5BnwMLdur0B tltAk23VzetfGU28+F/f4BxvxRY52AwpQd/ijIucTSeFMGjgFkyH4H192w9qRRpKqn/I MjsE/K9J1HiOz7ju99lz9uhumM9eOkxVesTcQ= MIME-Version: 1.0 Received: by 10.220.128.196 with SMTP id l4mr3125257vcs.34.1279582367374; Mon, 19 Jul 2010 16:32:47 -0700 (PDT) Sender: sektie@gmail.com Received: by 10.220.202.131 with HTTP; Mon, 19 Jul 2010 16:32:47 -0700 (PDT) In-Reply-To: <680862.29144.qm@web81107.mail.mud.yahoo.com> References: <680862.29144.qm@web81107.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2010 16:32:47 -0700 X-Google-Sender-Auth: XH5QtThk1XL44bvgks_2e4cRvBg Message-ID: From: Randi Harper To: Rich Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, freebsd-sysinstall@freebsd.org Subject: Re: system hangs on; "Probing devices, please wait (this can take a while)...
