I restored everything from tape once, now my system won't boot up multiuser.
It was going through /root/.profile and coming up with a shell.
So I put a new disklabel on it (from asbooot and bootas) and now it comes
up with a shell, but runs through /.profile instead?!  Any ideas?
I have a /etc/rc file, and it is executable.
(note, when I leave the shell, it runs /etc/rc, but it does NOT pass it
an autoboot parameter).
I have init, and it appears to be right.  What am I missing?
