^^^^^^^^^
You mean
/etc/etc.i386/rc.i386, right?
Are you sure? My /etc/rc should be -stable as per a few days
ago, and it executes
/etc/rc.`uname -m`
which is /etc/rc.i386, which is correct.

Uh... I don't think you're allowed to do this... try `make
install' instead... This should then copy the file
/usr/src/etc/etc.i386/rc.i386 to /etc/rc.i386. The directory
src/etc/etc.i386 doesn't itself get copied to /etc.
Makefiles exist for a reason. Let them do their thing. :-)
And don't forget to backup your existing /etc, beforehand... But
you do backups, anyways, right? ;-)
This pr looks like it should be closed.
