Don't know how my diff missed loader.rc missing, but it did... So, after some investigation, it appears that loader.rc and friends weren't installed, though loader and many other things were... I believe I have run into this issue before multiple times, but didn't know what was the problem, and a new installworld fixed the issue... So, there is an issue w/ our installworld, but tracking it down will probably be hard.. I've had this happen on both local UFS, and NFS backed by ZFS... It could be related to the fact that bmake doesn't always error out when an error occurs (reported), and so it appears that installworld completes successfully, but doesn't... Also, I was able to reliably reproduce (in different locations) a failure in installing tests that failed w/ a permission denied... -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
