To: questions@freebsd.org Message-id: <01HZP1Y01ASY8WX47Y@POMONA.EDU> X-VMS-To: IN%"questions@freebsd.org" MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I just rebooted back into FreeBSD after using another operating system. It booted fine, detecting all devices and going through the normal seequence where the text is white. Then when it normally starts the various daemons, clears out /tmp directory, etc (when the text is grey) instead of the normal sequence, it scrolled a lot of text saying something not found, expecting ")" and does that for about 15-20 lines, then goes to the login prompt. But, this is the login prompt I get: FreeBSD (Amnesiac) 2.1.0-RELEASE .. login: Did I delete one of the system start up files from the /etc directory? The equivalent of inittab maybe? Thanks John PS - in case (Amnesiac) is NOT supposed to be there in these cases, that is not my host name.
