I've got a boot up timing race issue. Here is what I'm trying to do. I want to mount a Samba share from a remote machine on boot up. Presently I have the appropriate entry in /etc/fsatb, such that I can mount the share _once I am in multiuser_. I have figured out how to get the smbfs kernel module loaded at boot time, using /boot/loader.conf. However, it appears that the remaining problem is that the NIC is not yet configured when the startup scripts try to mount the file systems. Therefore the system drops to a shell prompt since it can't mount _all_ the file systems. Seems like this issue would exist for NFS file systems that were staticly mount (as opposed to automonted). How can I get around this? -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
