 					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.
