To do it right for split root/usr installations requires a few patches=20 though. The rtld and the libs required for /[s]bin need to move to /=20 and compat symlinks created from /usr. A suitable crunchgen'ed binary=20 for /recover would be useful too. --=20 Doug Rabson=09=09=09=09Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com =09=09=09=09=09Phone: +44 20 8348 6160 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
