Re: help! 5.1 doesn't want to start my nic :)
From: Charlie Schluting [EMAIL PROTECTED] I ran /etc/rc.d/netif manually, and it said it couldn't find /etc/network.subr, so I copied that over manually, rebooted, and the interfaces still didn't start. But, if I run /etc/rc.d/netif manually, it starts just fine now! Yes, the file has execute permissions for all. Anyone know what's up with that? Can anyone give me the rundown on how/what FreeBSD does at boot time to start the network interface? Maybe something is supposed to be running that script, but isn't? Another missing script? Upon boot up, FreeBSD runs the /etc/rc script. Check that you have the latest rc script by comparing it with the one in /usr/src/etc. diff -u /etc/rc /usr/src/etc/rc There should be no differences between these files. You should also have the following rc* files in the /etc directory: # ls /etc/rc* /etc/rc /etc/rc.firewall6 /etc/rc.sendmail /etc/rc.subr /etc/rc.conf/etc/rc.firewall/etc/rc.resume /etc/rc.shutdown/etc/rc.suspend Also the /etc/rc.d directory should contain 145 scripts.

Thanks to everyone who responded. --Charlie I had the problem a few days ago with exactly the same file. I solution was to cd /usr/src/etc/rc.d make install Well, I did what the previous poster suggested, and upon reboot, it still didn't come up.

Scot :-) Ah, yes. Thank you so much! It was the /etc/rc file. evilness. I told it not to move the new one in because it looked like it was just deleting my old one. Mergemaster is great, but if you don't know certian files need to change, it doesn't help much. I knew to be careful when I saw it wanted to give me a default passwd file, but I suppose I was too careful. Oh, btw, my /etc/rc.d/ has 115 files, but everything works. Strange.
