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. [How-to-repeat] > cp /usr/src/etc/rc* /etc 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. -- tIM...HOEk OPTIMIZATION: the process of using many one-letter variables names hoping that the resultant code will run faster.
