					You mean

Are you sure?  My /etc/rc should be -stable as per a few days
ago, and it executes

/etc/rc.`uname -m`

which is /etc/rc.i386, which is correct.

Uh...  I don't think you're allowed to do this...  try `make
install' instead...  This should then copy the file
/usr/src/etc/etc.i386/rc.i386 to /etc/rc.i386.  The directory
src/etc/etc.i386 doesn't itself get copied to /etc.

Makefiles exist for a reason.  Let them do their thing.  :-)

And don't forget to backup your existing /etc, beforehand...  But
you do backups, anyways, right?  ;-)

This pr looks like it should be closed.
