Without "/usr", you don't have your shared > libraries or libexec, and it's just as fatal. By making only failing "ufs" mounts fatal, and perhaps "nfs" -- but's that's questionable as well. (It heavily depends on what your NFS mounts are for.) People running diskless, or /usr NFS-mounted have to tweak their /etc/rc anyway. Perhaps time to create a ``nofatal'' fstab flag? :) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
