There should be a list, so that in a brown-out or whatever, you don't end up toggling back to the previous version accidently. You should only ever rewrite the contents of a single file, and it shouldn't be an important file. The existance/non-existance of the single file should be enough to trigger/suppress the nextboot behaviour. Don't assume that the nextboot file will be on the same disk and/or partition as the boot and other config file code. -- Together, these things will allow the new code to solve the same problem that the old code solved on the InterJet. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
