Hubbard" Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk /stand is *only* populated by the installation tools and it's very likely that this will not change. Sorry, but the contents of that directory are very specialized and I just don't see the gain in trying to build it along with the rest of the system. At some point, I'm sort of hoping that /stand will go away and be replaced by something much better for rescuing yourself. Its current "rescue abilities" are more accidental than deliberate, and many people simply ``rm -rf /stand'' after installation. I know that sounds like something of a cop-out, but I'm afraid that's the most accurate description of the current state of affairs that I can give you.
