Since this has come up, I'd also be in favor of the following: /boot.config -> /boot/boot2.conf /boot.help -> /boot/boot2.help This makes the boot.* files seem appropriately less important (they *are* less important) and also cleans up / a little. There tends to be confusion over the function and purpose of the various new boot bits and pieces, so this is probably worth doing. -- Robert Nordier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
