The other wyrd problem I had was since I was booting off of a linux box using an nfs mounted root, there seems to be a problem with 'file locking' and 'pidfile_open'. In looking into it the linux box should have handled nfs file locking, but perhaps not. Also, as I'm using an nfs mounted file system for my 'root', there seems to be a problem with flock for the calls to 'pidfile_open' and perhaps other calls. Using 'rc.initdiskless' doesn't seem to over come these problems. Thanks, John Clark.
