Nothing odd or non-standard. Again, AFAICT. > Is there a reason you want 7.4 rather than 8.1? The machine already runs 8.1 (see [1]). Sorry for not making that clear. (in my defence, the information is available on the page I referenced in my post, but obviously nobody bothered to check that. Oh well.) Now I want to install 7.4 on another partition, so I can test that release as well. I always try to install as many different releases on a machine as I can / have space for; it has proven useful in the past, and it is my small way to help FreeBSD developers by testing as much (many releases / branches) as I can, on as much hardware as I can.
