A Pi4 upgraded via source to 14.4-stable failed to reach multi-usser after upgrade, reporting that run_rc_scripts wasn't found. Eventually it developed that replacing /etc/rc.subr with a version from -current fixed the problem. This lesson came from a forum post: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/updating-to-15-0-with-source.102467/ I never tampered with /etc/rc.subr and used etcupdate -p after buildworld followed by etcupdate after installworld. Might this have been caused by not using etcupdate -B following installworld? There were no merge conflicts and /etc/rc.subr was dated the same day as the install. Thanks for reading! bob prohaska
