It warns you that you should "only use this on a RUNNING system!" in certain places - that's normal. You're basically editing what the system uses for mount points, etc. Just don't muck around with your running drives... mike --7ZAtKRhVyVSsbBD2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjrNcQIACgkQJol4I8h9Gd+ZyACggDJTE5Pj470uYau4+RWLUOZl B/QAoL2zo3BTGEvSK2vWptksPe4ebEKe =rIqK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --7ZAtKRhVyVSsbBD2-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
