Hi,

I try to build my custom SD card for a Raspberry but I failed. To make
a long story short, I copied the /etc/group from a running 10.1
amd64 system to a SD card with also a 10.1 system on it. The ARM system
worked before I copied the file but stopped working after the file was
there.

I investigated and found that the following line makes the Raspberry
fail:

_atf:^:27:

I did not investigate how and when this line came into my /etc/group I
use on several other machines. At least it does not disturb FreeBSD
10.1 for amd64.

It seems that the Raspberry freezes during the boot process. Neither
the console nor telnet or ssh is usable then.

When I change the line to

_atf:*:27:

it all works as expected.

Does anyone know for what this entry is for. My search engine did not
bring much light into this. Just one Japanese site is also using this
entry. I believe it comes from the ports and got stuck here.

Erich
