Second question is how do I fix this either way? I wonder if updating rc.conf(5) to set your nfs client configs as the early_late_divider will help: early_late_divider (str) The name of the script that should be used as the delimiter between the "early" and "late" stages of the boot process. The early stage should contain all the services needed to get the disks (local or remote) mounted so that the late stage can include scripts contained in the directories listed in the local_startup variable (see below). Thus, the two likely candidates for this value are mountcritlocal for the typical system, and mountcritremote if the system needs remote file systems mounted to get access to the local_startup directories; for example when /usr/local is NFS mounted. For rc.conf within a jail(8) NETWORKING is likely to be an appropriate value. Extreme care should be taken when changing this value, and before changing it one should ensure that there are adequate provisions to recover from a failed boot (such as physical contact with the machine, or reliable remote console access). might be misreading your email though and perhaps you are already doing thing? -pete -- Pete Wright pete@nomadlogic.org @nomadlogicLA
