There is none. No default fstab exists. Maybe it comes from the /etc/fstab that is unpacked into ram disc, that is extracted from the 2.88M boot floppy, that is part of a bootable CD ? ( BTW if you'r going to get into questions around bootable cdroms etc, it's a frequent area of interest on

Hello, FreeBSD 4.x has no support to nsswitch, and even the -CURRENT supports only very few, predefined methods such as files, nis, nisplus for user authentication in nsswitch.conf. Dynamically loadable modules can't be used, for example nss_ldap for authentication via LDAP. There are patches

I have the need to read a whole pile of DEC Rainbow 100 floppies. I can do it on the DEC Rainbow, but that's a huge pita since it isn't networked. I'd like to either connect a RX-50 drive to my machine, or use a 1.2M 5.25 floppy drive that I can scrounge easily enough to do the deed. 80
