If it still fails, you have a baseline. Too many times, in troubleshooting, one makes assumptions, even wholly defensible ones like the boot default files, and it makes you look stupid later on when they are proven false. It's a tiny test, costs nothing, and stops you from looking foolish later on. FWIW, yes, it *should* work as advertised, I read it before I posted, but trust *nothing* when troubleshooting. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
