(For those who don't know, FreshStart is an init that manages your INIT's CDEV's and RDEV's. You create one or more configurations, and FreshStart picks just the indicated resources for the current session.) FreshStart keeps the managed files in three subfolders of the blessed folder. This way, FreshStart is the only INIT that the normal startup stuff sees, and it gets to manage the others. Of course, the installer on my new 6.0.5 system software doesn't know about any of this, and so made some mistakes about what to install. So I hauled all the stuff out of the subfolders and tried again. This was much better. Then FreshStart could be configured to put all those files back in their subfolders for me. The funniest part was that when it was out of the subfolder, FortuneII would freeze the system and the startup would not complete. I had to put it manually into the subfolder, and then everything went okay. That is particularly weird; it seems Fortune now does not want to run under the system directly, but somehow _requires_ FreshStart.
