Not necessarily tricky. At the first prompt (before the autoboot delay, default of 10 seconds), hit a key other than enter. Then, type "set boot_askname" followed by "boot". The kernel will then prompt you for the root device. When you enter it, the system will boot using the custom kernel you compiled and placed on the modified installation floppy. Bingo, now you copy your kernel off the floppy or compile another one. -- +-------------------+---------------------+ | George Reid | FreeBSD Committer | | +44 7740 197460 | greid@FreeBSD.org | +-------------------+---------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
