Oops, sorry about that.

In that case, perhaps it might be worth changing the reference to
rc.i386 in section 21.1.2, something like this:-

After

	    2. This, in turn, triggers the following action in /etc/rc.i386:

	# Start the Linux binary emulation if requested.                   
	if [ "X${linux}" = X"YES" ]; then
	        echo -n ' ';            linux
	        # XXX BOGUS - Linux script shouldn't make any output on success
	fi

add

	If the above lines are missing from /etc/rc.i386, they need to
	be added in order to load the Linux LKM at boot time.

as the files in /etc don't get updated by a 'make world' (touch wood!).
Hopefully this will help out the people who are having problems.
