If you have garbled /etc/rc.conf (or any of the other startup files), this does not mean that you have to reinstall the system - boot into single user and correct the error. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=43865 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
