Which is accessed by rc.diskless1 or rc/initdiskless. During diskless boot and RO boot from flash one may want to map it 'out' of there using for example a sym link to /var/tmp or /var/run in order not to be forced to do a 4Mb overlay in memory of /etc. However the writable versions of these do at that point not yet exist. So it would be nice to either detect this early and/or later in the process again try to create a /etc/resolv.conf when /var is known to exist. >How-To-Repeat: Its a whish :-) >Fix: Not sure. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
