NetBSD 11.0_BETA (GENERIC) #0: Fri Aug 1 17:05:55 UTC 2025 mkrepro%mkrepro.NetBSD.org@localhost:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
>Description:
Freshly-installed NetBSD-11 apparently creates /etc/rc.conf.bak.* files but doesn't clean up before exiting sysinst:
vm07# uname -v
NetBSD 11.0_BETA (GENERIC) #0: Fri Aug 1 17:05:55 UTC 2025 mkrepro%mkrepro.NetBSD.org@localhost:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC
vm07# ls -la /etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf.bak.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 608 Aug 4 21:12 /etc/rc.conf
-rw------- 1 root wheel 0 Aug 4 21:11 /etc/rc.conf.bak.0axBdV
vm08# uname -v
NetBSD 11.0_BETA (GENERIC) #0: Fri Aug 1 17:05:55 UTC 2025 mkrepro%mkrepro.NetBSD.org@localhost:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
vm08# ls -la /etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf.bak.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 608 Aug 4 20:58 /etc/rc.conf
-rw------- 1 root wheel 0 Aug 4 20:56 /etc/rc.conf.bak.GuyiFF
The amd64 install is from 20250801170555Z
The i386 install is from 20250801170555Z
There's no apparent harm from the .bak file, it's just untidy.
>How-To-Repeat:
Systems were installed by booting netbsd-INSTALL.gz from the same build as noted for the sets, and using sysinst normally.
