Yes,
I was missing the 'source' line in my rc.firewall file.
But that doesn't change the fact that I have no mouse support,
named doesn't come up. No default route... -Nothing- specified in the
/etc/rc.conf file occurs at boot.
I just ran mergemaster -s that didn't change things either.
I appreciate the suggestions, but it is a pretty fundamental
problem. I can start most things easily by hand, but it is annoying to
do.
