   | 7.1 NetBSD 7.1 (GENERIC.201703111743Z) amd64
 
   | During startup rc complains twice about fdflags not existing.
 
 It should not on a NetBSD 7 system, as there are no references to
 fdflags in the netbsd 7 /etc/rc script
 
   | RCS file: /cvsroot/src/etc/rc,v
   | retrieving revision 1.173
 
 1.173 is from the HEAD branch of /etc/rc  - if you are using HEAD,
 then you should have a /bin/sh which knows about fdflags.
 
 If you are using NetBSD 7 you should have no references to fdflags
 in your /etc/rc and should be no-where near version 1.173 or /etc/rc
 
 Please make sure when using cvs with NetBSD 7 that you always use
 -r netbsd-7 on cvs update commands (this will stick, provided that
 you do not use -A)
 
 If you want to mix up versions, then you can expect issues like this
 (and there is little point in reporting them.)
