I suppose this is pretty naive, and maybe I'm under some voodoo spell, but is it plausible that running sysctl in the absence of a proc fs could cause a panic? On my nifty, new Soekris Engineering SBC w/CF disk and NO_SWAPPING, if I ran w/o a proc fs I could reliably panic the machine by typing "sysctl -a | more" Once I set /proc->/var/proc and added it to /etc/fstab, this stopped. Explanation? (Other than sysctl is documented as an undocumented kernel if). To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
