Kernel changes not taking

Hi all,

Don't know if anyone can shed any light on our problem.

We have made changes to the /etc/system file on an E10000 running Solaris
64-bit.

Issued a touch /reconfigure etc.

For some reason the changes aren't being applied.

sysdef and system listed below.

Any ideas, am I missing something?.

Thanks in advance,

system:

*ident "@(#)system 1.18 97/06/27 SMI" /* SVR4 1.5 */
*
* SYSTEM SPECIFICATION FILE
*

* moddir:
*
* Set the search path for modules. This has a format similar to the
* csh path variable. If the module isn't found in the first directory
* it tries the second and so on. The default is /kernel /usr/kernel
*
* Example:
* moddir: /kernel /usr/kernel /other/modules

* root device and root filesystem configuration:
*
* The following may be used to override the defaults provided by
* the boot program:
*
* rootfs: Set the filesystem type of the root.
*
* rootdev: Set the root device. This should be a fully
* expanded physical pathname. The default is the
* physical pathname of the device where the boot
* program resides. The physical pathname is
* highly platform and configuration dependent.
*
* Example:
* rootfs:ufs
* rootdev:/sbus@1,f8000000/esp@0,800000/sd@3,0:a
*
* (Swap device configuration should be specified in /etc/vfstab.)

* exclude:
*
* Modules appearing in the moddir path which are NOT to be loaded,
* even if referenced. Note that `exclude' accepts either a module
name,
* or a filename which includes the directory.
*
* Examples:
* exclude: win
* exclude: sys/shmsys

* forceload:
*
* Cause these modules to be loaded at boot time, (just before mounting
* the root filesystem) rather than at first reference. Note that
* forceload expects a filename which includes the directory. Also
* note that loading a module does not necessarily imply that it will
* be installed.
*
* Example:
* forceload: drv/foo

* set:
*
* Set an integer variable in the kernel or a module to a new value.
* This facility should be used with caution. See system(4).
*
* Examples:
*
* To set variables in 'unix':
*
* set nautopush=32
* set maxusers=40
*
* To set a variable named 'debug' in the module named 'test_module'
*
* set test_module:debug = 0x13
