System: FreeBSD sep.oldach.net 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #0: Tue Apr 16 00:27:21 CEST 2002 toor@sep.oldach.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386


>Description:

Starting box into multi-user with /etc/sysctl.conf containing

	compat.linux.osname=FreeBSD
	compat.linux.osrelease=4.5-STABLE

(which values probably should be default, BTW :-)). However linux.ko
isn't yet loaded, hence rc.sysctl fails:

sysctl: unknown oid 'compat.linux.osname'
sysctl: unknown oid 'compat.linux.osrelease'

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:

Don't know exactly. On one hand it is correct that /etc/rc sets OIDs as
soon as possible. On the other hand some OIDs cannot be set right away,
but require some dependencies.

We probably need two separate sets of rc.sysctl: setting OIDs "just
after starting" to go multi-user (i.e. early in /etc/rc), and the other
"just before finishing" /etc/rc (i.e. late in /etc/rc).
