    Thanks, Doug. I now have the system working with no
    problems and everything that should have been working
    from boot working. I just have to reboot and see if
    rc, syslogd, etc. work as before. They didn't on the
    last reboot. Probably because everything was giving
    me signal 6, 10, 11, etc. Hopefully everything will
    just work :-)

    Thanks again for your help and suggestions.
