Hello. Testing new 5.0-Current stuff for diskless booting I ran into struggle with some kind of misleading hierarchy in how /etc and /conf/default/etc ist treated. I use an environment for diskless systems that has well populated specific i(assuming I am chrooted to the diskless root partition): /conf/base/etc, /conf/default/etc and /conf/MY.IP/etc It works as exspected - but not in all ways. /etc in diskless environment can not be left empty, the startup seems to need rc, rc.subr and both rc.diskless[12] files to get clear to startup. rc.d and the new RCng facility does not work. Am I right to say: we need rc, rc.subr and both rc.diskless1 and 2 for a proper diskless boot? Does this imply that rc.d for diskless does not work? I tried to clean /etc or populated /etc/defaults but that ends up in a dead diskless system. Please, this is only a question. At the moment I feel happy that diskless works again in 5.X and hope it works with RCng soon. Oliver -- MfG O.
