Takes a while to scp 200+ meg over a 128k DSL link. :) I'd appreciate it if people could test and verify that no emulation booting does indeed work in a good portion of the machines around. Note that the current CD layout supports booting from either method, the decision currently lies with the command line options passed to mkisofs when the image is created (-b boot/cdboot -no-emul-boot vs. -b floppies/boot.flp). -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
