>Environment:
FreeBSD test.scinfo.u-nancy.fr 2.2.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE #0: Fri May 16 15:06:24 GMT 1997     jkh@time.cdrom.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC  i386

>Description:
when exiting the installation process (boot from floppy), sysinstalldoes not update /etc/rc.conf with the parameters you have enteredduring installation.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install FreeBSD 2.2.2 and above.
>Fix:
file: /usr/src/release/sysinstall/system.c, function systemShutdown.---> when everything is OK, systemShutdown is called from main.c      with 0 as "status" arg but, the C code is          /* write out any changes to rc.conf .. */
     if (status)
         configRC_conf("/etc/rc.conf");
--> fix ??: if (!status)               configRC_conf("/etc/rc.conf");
and verify all systemShutdown calls to see if they do what it isexpected (line 131 of main.c for instance).
