No. sysinstall copies over /stand and then chroots into the new root for the actual install after it does the newfs. If you don't copy /stand then installs will fail. Please just leave it as is. /stand is still useful in the scary case that /rescue and normal root get hosed and it doesn't take up very much space anyways. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/
