If there's no immediate fix for this can it please be reverted.

This includes pretty much everyone running FreeBSD 8 because the installer creates separate partitions by default there. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
