I have a 5.4 system, /do/ go into single user when upgrading, and

not on others.
Consider diff'ing the /usr/share/misc/magic file from a system that
works and a system that doesn't work. I'd expect the difference to
be evident there.
It works find on all my machines, though.
I have two 5.4 systems, one's a 5.4-Release installed from Disk, the
other's a 5.4-release-p7 upgraded from 5.3 via the procedures in the
handbook. File on the former reports FreeBSD version, file on the
latter does not. There appears to be only minor differences in magic
files between the two machines. Copying the magic file from the working
machine to the non-working machine and compiling it via file -c did not
change anything. Copying the executable from the working machine to the
non-working machine did nothing either.
Note: alexis->5.4, trisha->5.4p7
alexis% file `which ethereal`
/usr/X11R6/bin/ethereal: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version
1 (FreeBSD), for FreeBSD 5.4, dynamically linked (uses shared libs),
stripped
trisha% file `which ethereal`

Thanks,
