The last thing that gets read by anything is /etc/fstab, however it seems most likely that fstab was read by the bootloader rather than the kernel proper. -- Luke _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" --------------------------------- Ring'em or ping'em.
