I believe that svc.startd doesn't signal to init that we've entered runlevel 3 until somewhere around milestone/multi-user-server. Anything that we would have done in rcS should have milestone/single-user as a dependent, and so should be done by then. Do you have an example? > 2) It's not clear that proper dependencies are set up to be sure that > dumpadm is done with swap before other things need/use swap. Hmm, yes, it's not clear to me, either. Let me contact people who know more about savecore than I. David
