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.
