Can't confirm that the problem exists: $ uname -a FreeBSD srv.sem.ipt.ru 6.1-STABLE FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #2: Wed May 17 23:26:59 MSD 2006 bsam@srv.sem.ipt.ru:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SRV i386 But what do you mean "/usr isn't mounted at that point?". Have you read man fstab? > BTW I'm running 6.1 (upgraded from an original 5.3 install) Usually an output of "uname -a" is much more informative here. 6.1 may mean release, release + security patches, stable... And a platform also is of interest here. WBR -- Boris Samorodov (bsam) Research Engineer, http://www.ipt.ru Telephone & Internet SP FreeBSD committer, http://www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve
