It would be helpful if you could tell us which version of FreeBSD you're using and what you did/changed just prior to getting this error. I ask because this error is quite common after having just upgraded to 3.1 or 3.x-STABLE, and the solution is to boot into single user mode and modify your /etc/rc.conf to stop calling itself (it's near the end of the file). Of course, if people upgraded their /etc directory when they upgraded the rest of their system, they wouldn't have this problem. --Ludwig Pummer ( ludwigp@bigfoot.com ) ICQ UIN: 692441 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
