I've reread Dag-Erling's post and I still don't agree that it should be removed, but since this seems to be the consensus I'll wait few more hours to see if that changes and then remove it until something is done to prevent problems with duplicate labels. The basic reason I don't agree is that it requires effort to trip over this bug. In no circumstance what to so ever will simply having this option in your kernel cause any harm. Only if you add entries to your fstab will problems occur. I don't see how not putting it in GENERIC will fix this pilot error. Using labels in sysinstall is obviously premature, but letting people use them a bit more seems like a very good idea. :( -- Brooks --y0ulUmNC+osPPQO6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFF5IPBXY6L6fI4GtQRAugMAKDAV19UHruF2RqZ8biRAsEpikb1qwCgvNds yPOifdHlQFUBJvBobZfWLEw= =5BDE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --y0ulUmNC+osPPQO6--
