Fix: If you have the source distribution installed, simply cp /usr/src/etc/login.conf /etc otherwise, mount the 2nd CDROM and copy it from the live filesystem (cp /cdrom/usr/src/etc/login.conf /etc) instead. o sysconfig scrambles rc.conf if run again. Fix: Get updated /usr/src from RELENG_2_2 branch and build /usr/src/release/sysinstall, copying the new binary to /stand. If you do not have enough space for src then you could also use the boot/fixit floppy combo from a later 2.2-YYMMDD-RELENG release to simply mount your root partition (using the Fixit option) and copy /stand/sysinstall from the floppy to /stand on your root fs. It will end your problems. Fabrice
