I've been unable to get Gnome to start up on boot. I've used cvsup, pkgdb -fu, and portupgrade -a multiple times to get all my ports to build properly. I've added gnome_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf. I believe I've done all the changes in /usr/ports/UPDATING, but I could have missed something. banner ~>uname -a FreeBSD banner 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Fri Jan 12 10:40:27 UTC 2007 root@dessler.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Here are the relevant lines from /var/log/messages: Nov 21 15:20:55 banner kernel: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a Nov 21 15:21:10 banner avahi-daemon[841]: WARNING: No NSS support for mDNS detected, consider installing nss-mdns!
