No doubt this question has been asked before, but how do I mount logical
partitions (e2fs) under FreeBSD? I have checked the handbook, and
DuckDuckGo'ed, but without finding anything useful.
The third slice on my first disk is a physical one, and will mount

When I issue 'portupgrade package -p', after build and installation, it
builds a new package, as advertised. This (by default) is put into /usr/

At the same time, it installs a set of symlinks; one for each relevant

So I returned to the older boxes and reinstalled the depending packages,
