There's only one /usr/obj on the system. The buildworld command used was make -j3 KERNCONF=GENERIC TARGET=arm TARGET_ARCH=armv7 buildworld and the etcupdate command following buildworld was etcupdate -p After installing world and kernel, etcupdate runs again as etcupdate Might using etcupdate -B in the second invocation be a remedy?
