Synopsis: /usr/local/etc/rc.d script files won't load during bootup via Diskless State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: yar State-Changed-When: Fri Aug 17 09:15:02 UTC 2007 State-Changed-Why: I think that there has beem a new way of handling local rc.d scripts since 6.1-RELEASE. From the rc.conf(5) manpage: early_late_divider (str) The name of the script that should be used as the delimiter between the ``early'' and ``late'' stages of the boot process. The early stage should contain all the ser- vices needed to get the disks (local or remote) mounted so that the late stage can include scripts contained in the directories listed in the local_startup variable (see below). Thus, the two likely candidates for this value are mountcritlocal for the typical system, and mountcritremote if the system needs remote file systems mounted to get access to the local_startup directories; for example when /usr/local is NFS mounted. For rc.conf within a jail(8) NETWORKING is likely to be an appropriate value. Extreme care should be taken when changing this value, and before changing it one should ensure that there are adequate provisions to recover from a failed boot (such as physical contact with the machine, or reliable remote console access). In your case, setting the variable to "mountcritremote" seems necessary. Please report back if it helps.
