I tried to trace where it is getting stuck but I'm getting a bit tangled up in /etc/rc -- confusing. It seems to be executing out of order somehow based on the output I see... I was able to get sendmail to run (just put it into rc.conf) but I can't seem to see what is hanging here. It never executes the rc.powerpc file. It doesn't seem to be trying to run rc.syscons but I'm not sure. Any suggestions? It is frustrating to be so tantalizingly close!

Hmmm, I'm not sure what's happening here: you may need to put some debug in the shell scripts to see where/why it's hanging. Here's what my iBook spits out just after these lines: Updating motd. sendmail: execing /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail: No such file or directory sendmail: execing /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail: No such file or directory Initial powerpc initialization:.

You need the sparc 64 ttys file - the name of the console was changed recently from 'ofwcons' to 'screen'. later, Peter. > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ppc" in the body of the message
