While the static binaries in /stand might be useful, the kernel modules probably really aren't. We might consider either not copying /stand/modules from the mfsroot over to /, or we might move the modules to /modules or some such in the mfsroot so that they don't get copied in the first place. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message
