I initially saw the problem during boot, with the interface configs in rc.conf, but because it is so mixed with the rest, I took it out and put it in the script, then after multi-user boot was finished, I did a login and ran the script, with the output I showed in the initial post. So I put the interface configs back into rc.conf and I'm seeing the same problem, here is a cut during boot: ############### Starting file system checks: /dev/ad0s1a: FILE SYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS /dev/ad0s1a: clean, 93385 free (33 frags, 11669 blocks, 0.0% fragmentation) Mounting local file systems:.

It was in the 6000, while now it is much higher: Without wlan configs in rc.conf, but configured afterwards: 16 Bucket: 64, 0, 15, 300, 3139, 16, 0 256 Bucket: 1024, 0, 31, 1, 592,6062, 0 vmem btag: 28, 0, 4496, 256, 4496, 32, 0 With wlan configs in rc.conf: 16 Bucket: 64, 0, 16, 299, 8611, 16, 0 256 Bucket: 1024, 0, 26, 6, 773,16928, 0 vmem btag: 28, 0, 4405, 59, 4405, 30, 0 Both of them boot from a ro compact-flash with md /etc and /var, but they are small 4.3M and 2.1M. I have hacked in the use of tmpfs, but that did not make a difference. So where do I look from here? Regards John -- John Hay -- jhay@meraka.csir.co.za / jhay@meraka.org.za / jhay@FreeBSD.org
