>Release:        FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT i386
>Environment:

        FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT

>Description:

        In /etc/rc, there is if-statement for legasy aout support
	for i386 architecture only. However, the conditional statement
	is wrong (it'll never execute).

>How-To-Repeat:

        Install 3.0-CURRENT and boot.

>Fix:

	Very easy, add '-n' option to sysctl.
