Does tmpfs exist at all on FreeBSD?
I found yet another bug, in /etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh this time
(package initscripts).
It tries to mount a tmpfs on /lib/init/rw.
The offending lines at the beginning are:
RW_OPT=
[ "${RW_SIZE:=$TMPFS_SIZE}" ] && RW_OPT=",size=$RW_SIZE"
domount tmpfs "" /lib/init/rw tmpfs -omode=0755,nosuid$RW_OPT
touch /lib/init/rw/.ramfs
Of course, there are further lines, but as they are not used by default
(ie without editing /etc/default/tmpfs), they are not as troublesome.
Hope it helps

Re: Reportbug
Is it a good idea to use reportbug to submit bug reports to Debian GNU/kFreeBSD? It depends ... The most common problem would be FTBFS, in this case, please submit bugs only with patch (or recipe) to fix that.

Re: Bug report: module-init-tools: depends upon sort and uniq, which are located in /usr
I tried to report it using reportbug, but it ended in Debian's official BTS as #423662 (so maybe this is another bug to report) and was almost instantly closed. Feel free to point me to the right place to report. Ohh, you just discovered bug in a package, that have compeletely different content compared to Linux one (and is from different source package). There is a small number of such kfreebsd specific packages, this one belongs to them. Here is the report as generated by reportbug: Package: module-init-tools Version: 6.2-3 Severity: normal The initscript module-init-tools uses /usr/bin/sort and /usr/bin/uniq while /usr may not yet be mounted. Worst, it is the default with the current installation. As a workaround, just drop "| sort | uniq" from the initscript. In the worst case, it will show confusing "Not loading xxx (already loaded)". Proper fix would be write "sort -u" using only /bin a /sbin binaries. Any volunteer ? ;-) Petr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

This should be sufficient for > installing GNOME. Thanks for the info. A little late, though, as I don't feel like reinstalling now downgrading now. However, this machine is not critical to me, I just installed it to see how faster Debian GNU/kFreeBSD can be compared to GNU/Linux on aging machines (early PII/III-class, of which I maintain a lot). I'm willing to help fix the problems though. So I first try to notice, then report, then try to provide a fix. > Petr -- Jérôme Warnier FLOSS Consultant http://beeznest.net
