That fixed the error messages which were also appearing during the boot process. And I can now login at the console in other than single user mode. That should go a long way to getting the box up and running . I don't know why /etc/rc was not overwritten. I had done a "cp -Rp /var/tmp/root/etc /etc/rc" as part of the reconciliation between the old and new. (see http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make- world/make-world.html) for details. Makes me worry about what else went wrong... -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary http://www.FreeBSDDiary.com/freebsd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
