I am running the machine fine, I run setup, install, add packages and recompile the kernel. Upon reboot, any changes that I made to ethernet cards remain so all is fine. However, I then go into rc.conf.site (where did this come from anyway? Why can't we just edit rc.conf like usual??) change a few values, and reboot. Upon reboot all the stuff is reset to defaults and I have lost my initial configuration. It is almost like the thing is reading it's defaults from /etc/rc.conf, and writing its results to rc.conf.site? Anyone else see this happening? I am running 3.0-STABLE (CVS update on kernel, 2/6/1999). I have also seen this happen on another 3.0-STABLE box (full CVS update, 2/8/1999).
