Great, this would make upgrading feel quite a bit cleaner, so I would very much welcome this, thanks! I tested your patch on my slow amd64 laptop, but it failed---for one thing because ifconfig has its trunk support wrapped inside #ifndef SMALL's... Specifically, after the installer fsck's the root partition, the error ifconfig: trunkproto: bad value ifconfig: trunkport: bad value appears. I'm currently building a new bsd.rd with some changes to ifconfig.c and will submit the patch if it works out. Just some quick feedback to save others the time testing this... Best, Theo
