 Two days ago, I changed my beadm-compatible layout to have /root on a
dedicated filesystem, separated from /. Then I upgraded to current and
noticed two ln output errors.

After some time cruising the FreeBSD source tree, I came to the conclusion
that .cshrc and .profile were installed to the /root filesystem and that
the two subsequent hardlinks failed because the respective targets .cshrc
and .profile were (in my case) on a different filesystem, namely /.

Is there any historical reason for hardlinking instead of softlinking ?
Anyway, I will definitely keep an eye on your better approach.
