>Description:
If /stand/sysinstall is run in order to do post-install configuration,
the /etc/rc.conf file becomes totally trashed with repeated strings. Looks
like a buffer overflow. Note that the machines hostname is long.
swapfile="NO" # Set to name of swapfile if aux swapfile desired." # Set to name of swapfile if aux swapfile desired."
# Set to name of swapfile if aux swapfile desired." # Set to name of swapfile if aux swapfile desired.
apm_enable="NO" # Set to YES if you want APM enabled." # Set to YES if you want APM enabled."
>How-To-Repeat:
Run /stand/sysinstall and select post-instal configuration.
