Subject: boot problem in 3.1-R To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello again, After just installing 3.1-Rfrom the CDs I went ahead and followed Greg Lehey's instructions on page 72 of "The Complete FreeBSD" about relocating the /tmp and /var. However, since the /tmp directions said I should be in single user mode, I did both parts in single user mode. mkdir /usr/var cd /var tar cf - . | (cd /usr/var; tar xf - ) cd / rm -rf /var ln -s /usr/var /var and mkdir /usr/tmp rm -rf /tmp ln -s /usr/tmp /tmp Here is where the problem starts. From now on, every subsequent time I boot, this is the message I get: routing daemons:. Mounting NFS file systems. /etc/rc: cannont create /var/run/dmesg.boot: directory nonexistent cd: can't cd to /var/run /etc/rc: cannont create /var/run/clean_var: directory nonexistant Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: Please let me know what stupid error I made.
