I tried yesterday's mfsroot image and it doesn't work with that either. The August 16th snapshot's kernel and mfsroot images seem to work. The August 16th snapshot's kernel and yesterday's mfsroot image also works. This is the third unusable snap in a row that I've had the misfortune to encounter. I'm starting to think this is more than a coincidence. Did somebody launch a "Piss Bill Off" contest when I wasn't looking or something? If so, let me stress that you really don't want to find out what first prize is. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "It is not I who am crazy; it is I who am mad!" - Ren Hoek, "Space Madness" ============================================================================= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
