The correct > entries reside in there. /dev should probably be used when DEVFS is present, or else devfs should be mounted on /mnt/dev as well as /dev. The /mnt/dev hack was a workaround for the non-devfs case. It doesn't apply for devfs. > 2. It seems like /etc/fstab should exist.

Not sure what this is all about. /etc/fstab should exist in theory. Actually, it might not exist yet. During an install w/o using existing partitions we don't have a / filesystem to put /etc/fstab in. Probably we should use an explicit fsck_ffs or fsck -t ffs when fscking existing filesystems from sysinstall. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
