Hi Nathan,
You are right about rc sourcing rc.${arch} and also right about
rc.${arch} needing to be in /etc . However, I wouldn't recommend
"copying the files from etc.i386/* to /etc".
Rather, check out ports/sysutils/mergemaster. It does a remarkably good
job of merging changes to the source etc/ files with your installed /etc
files.
Good luck,
Sheldon.
