I wanted it because of actually using sysinstall's custom install scripting ability such that /stand is different on different types of machines in my environment. diskless wasn't the only argument against this but you didn't want to listen because in your mind having both /rescue and /stand was the end of civilization as we know it. I don't care enough to argue about this forever though, I can just adjust my scripts to explicitly write things to somewhere else besides /stand (maybe have to generate a script that later generates a file or something) for things that I want to preserve. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
