What I'd like to do is avoid my error of a few days ago, in which dtb changed and a normal buildworld, buildkernel, installworld, installkernel cycle ended with an unbootable system. Adding a line to the build script to do the /boot/dtb/rpi2.dtb to /boot/msdos copy looks like one solution. Given that it's taken 70 builds to fall in this trap I'm a little worried it'll cause more trouble than it solves. Is there any prospect of usb keyboard support in single user? That would simplify blunder recovery a great deal. Thanks for reading, and all your help! bob prohaska
