Well, the reason I thought of this was because /var is kind of special, and NetBSD does break out the mounts to a critlocal (/var) a critremote (/usr), which is a misnomer, and finally a mountall (mount -a). I was just trying to keep it as similar to NetBSD as possible. Anyway, I have no problems with moving pccard back to after /usr (and by implication /var) have been mounted. It was just a thought. Although, it makes it impossible to use a pccard ethernet to get your /usr (which I can think of a couple ways this would happen (desktop pc with a only a wireless interface to connect it to the rest of the network)). But this should all be moot as NEWCARD is going to stomp all over OLDCARD by the time this makes it's way to a -RELEASE. Sorry, I get kinda rambly on this, but I'm just trying to consider as many aspects of the boot system as possible. -gordon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
