Further, the tmpfs.ko and nullfs.ko modules weren't built and installed. I wound up building and installing both tmpfs and nullfs manually (cding to their respective src direcdories and running make; make install) to get synth to run. My only question remaining now is was the removal of the building and installing of these modules a fairly recent change in 12.0, or is something in my system hosed up?
