I've created and removed the /conf directory many times and must've confused /conf/base with /conf/default. Re-reading diskless(8) I see that that is indeed where that file is supposed to be (thanks). I went ahead and copied [/tmp]/etc to [/tmp]/conf/default/etc and still the same result. One thing that's been puzzling me that I haven't seen in the archives is the message "missing device name". >> Mounting root from nfs:172.16.34.1:/tmp >> missing device name <------ >> setrootbyname failed >> NFS ROOT: 172.16.34.1:/tmp I've enabled debugging in rc.diskless1 and haven't seen the results of that so I assume that control hasn't been passed on to rc.diskless1. Should I call rc.diskless1 explicitly in rc.conf?
