The diskless machine hangs after printing the date on the console. I added debug output to /etc/rc, /etc/initdiskless and finally /sbin/init. It seems to hang in init after calling multi_user(). A bit before the hang, rc.initdiskless does sysctl -n kern.bootp_cookie and it prints: sysctl: unknown oid 'kern.bootp_cookie' Is this a known issue? I can upgrade to -current if needed. PS in the process of setting up the diskless root I also updated clone_root to work with fbsd > 4.x, retaining 4.x compatibility, seems to work fine. thanks marco -- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. -- Thomas Jefferson
