This probably should be made a little bit clearer in the handbook, as you can barely see that arch is in italics. As you found out, /sys/i386/conf is the correct location for theses files on the i386 architechture. Also, if you do a ls -l / | grep sys, you'll see that /sys is a link to /usr/src/sys. Thus /sys/i386/conf is the same as /usr/src/sys/i386/conf.. Scot To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
