Then sysctl would be a shell script too. The only way I can see this happening, is that /boot at loader time, is not the same /boot after kernel is loaded. For this reason, it would be nice if kern.bootfile would list ad0s1a:/boot/kernel/kernel. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
