Hello, I am working on a pc whose / partition unfortunately was nuked. After restoring everything as should be (to my knowledge), I am having problems booting the machine. It is a 3.2-RELEASE install. The problem seems to occur in /etc/rc. [ does not work, at least not for -f and !=. I've md5'ed my hard linked /bin/test and /bin/[, to be certain the binaries are the same as for the installation binaries. Since the tests do not work, the rc.diskless1 file is slurped in by /etc/rc. I've tried moving rc.diskless1 elsewhere, and then I get an error telling me the file does not exist. I've added the following after 'export PATH' in /etc/rc: #debugging: echo $PATH echo /sbin/sysctl -n vfs.nfs.diskless_valid echo if [ -f /etc/rc.diskless1 ]; then echo "-f does not work"; elif then echo "-f works"; fi if [ 0 != 0 ]; then echo "!= does not work"; elif then echo "!= works"; fi echo Here is the relevant output: ... npx0: INT 16 interface changing root device to wd0s1a /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin 0 -f does not work != does not work .: Can't open /etc/rc.diskless1 Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: Interactively, the tests work, though... Does anyone know what's happening? Thank you in advance.
