 I think the submitter is a bit confused. :-)  Just because the source tree 
 has src/etc/etc.i386/rc.i386, that doesn't mean that the file is installed 
 as /etc/etc.i386/rc.i386.. 
 
 Specifically..
 
 src/etc/etc.i386/rc.i386 -> /etc/rc.i386
 src/etc/etc.i386/disktab -> /etc/disktab
 src/etc/etc.i386/MAKEDEV -> /dev/MAKEDEV  (just to be wierd :-)
 
 Move rc.i386 from /etc/etc.i386/ to /etc/ and it'll work.
 
 Cheers,
 -Peter
