Larry, it sounds like you have an old unix that was built without
the Hostess driver sitting in a directory where the system wants to link
it to /unix when rebooting (/etc/conf/cf.d, I believe).  It seems
some installpkgs put unix here, which is different from ISC's kconfig.
Kconfig puts it's kernals in subdirectories to /etc/conf/kconfig.d.
Do ls -li on these dirs and the root dir to match up the inodes,
then remove or rename the old unix.
