Correct. Note that rc.conf is processed after kernel initialisation, it is read by rc (and its "sub-scruipts"); if rc isn't run, no attention is paid to rc.conf's settings. > But despite all of this I still get: No dumpdevice defined. > Why does the kernel claim so? You can enter the boot loader's dialog facility and check the variables set or which of them have been passed to the kernel. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0
