I'm not sure, but could this be caused by trying to mount /usr/home and /usr/local before /usr? I'd guess /usr would have to be mounted first, for those two mountpoints to exist (assuming /usr isn't on your root filesystem) and therefore listed first (or before /usr/home and /usr/local at least) in /etc/fstab. But that's just a guess. -- Ben Smithurst | PGP: 0x99392F7D ben@scientia.demon.co.uk | key available from keyservers and | ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
