Re: I deleted /stand/, but I need it again for diskless boot...

I suggest patching /etc/rc.d/initdiskless instead:

_at__at_ -299,13 +299,13 _at__at_
             cp -Rp $j/* /$subdir
         fi
      done
-    for j in /conf/$i/*.cpio.gz ; do
+    for j in /conf/$i/*.cpio ; do
         subdir=${j%*.cpio.gz}
         subdir=${subdir##*/}
         if [ -f $j ]; then
             create_md $subdir
             echo "Loading /$subdir from cpio archive $j"
-           (cd / ; /stand/gzip -d < $j | /stand/cpio --extract -d )
+           (cd / ; /bin/cat < $j | /bin/pax -r )
         fi
      done
      for j in /conf/$i/*.remove ; do

For some reason, people keep forgetting
that /bin/pax can read cpio archives.
This patch also eliminates the use of gzip
(at the cost of requiring an uncompressed archive,
which should not be a problem in practice).
If you prefer, you could use /rescue/gzip
instead.

Cheers,
