I've just upgraded in place from FreeBSD 8 to FreeBSD 9.0. The upgrade following /usr/src/UPDATING was without any problems. The only issue I have is that there seems to be a race condition for bootup scripts in which netif can start later than devices that require it, resulting in the following problems : 1. pf rules not being loaded as it can't find network interfaces defined such as lo0 2. named not starting I suspect that it may be a file was not installed/updated after mergemaster -i but, when I check /etc/rc.d/netif and pf the REQUIRES line is the same as that in /usr/src How do I troubleshoot this? I've tried to manually change REQUIRES for pf for example to LOGIN, but it doesn't have any effect. Any pointers would be much appreciated to possible solutions would be much appreciated. Regards
