[-- Attachment #1 --] * Philip Paeps <philip@paeps.cx> [20010907 17:24]: writing on the subject 'FreeBSD not parsing rc.conf after make world' | Hi all, | | I wonder what I might have done wrong to cause this. I've just CVSupped the | latest stable sources last night, and today I built the world as follows: | | % cd /usr/src | % make buildworld | (loads of coffee, lunch, etc) | % make buildkernel KERNCONF=FORTUNA | (more coffee) | % make installkernel KERNCONF=FORTUNA | % reboot | (single user) | | # fsck -p | # mount -u / | # mount -a -t ufs | # swapon -a | | # make installworld | # mergemaster | | I told it to install the new MAKEDEV, and merge most of the stuff in /etc, the | sort of stuff I do everytime I make the world. | | # reboot | | When my machine booted, I was welcomed by (Amnesiac) before login, as opposed to | the (fortuna.paeps.cx), which I'm used to. After a bit of testing around (a few | changes in rc.conf, followed by reboots), I realised that the system just wasn't | reading it on startup. Any ideas what might have caused this? Probably | something silly I did, but I don't want to do it again, given the amount of | coffee I have to consume to kill time waiting for it to let me play with it :-) | | Thanks for any help! You did cp -Rp etc etc.old before doing mergemaster and doing the mergings, yes? If so, rm -rf etc mv etc.old etc reboot. Then run mergemaster and choose to install all the new files (the temporary ones) except for the files that you have some customizations on. I _never_ merge anything myself: I either install the temporary one or delete it. In some cases I leave for later to compare but rarely. -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington Wananchi Online Ltd., wash@wananchi.com 1st Flr Loita Hse.
