I upgraded to 3.2-STABLE without any problems. I then decided that I would
keep the default rc.conf file in /etc/defaults as is, and use a customized
file (with all of the real info) in /etc/rc.conf. Well when I did this, I
basically could not start the system. After booting, it would hang for a
while, then say Out of file descriptors and drop me into the root shell
prompt, with nothing mounted except the root fs.
It ocurred to me this morning to swap the rc.conf files, and presto,
everything worked like a dream. Is this normal behaviour? I thought the
/etc/defaults/rc.conf file was supposed to be untouched.
