(added cpio, fdisk, disklabel....) now what i do is this: boot PICObsd, ftp sysinstall over from my machine (same build) because sysinstall is too large to be compiled into the boot floppy. anyhow everything seems to work, but sysinstall can't find my Disks for some reason, i've read through the source... and like urm i'm confused as hell as to why sysinstall can't see my disks, but fdisk and disklabel CAN.... i practically have all my options from a kernel that has no problems in the PICObsd kernel. practically by now i could have done "make release" unfortunatly i thought i could 'fenangle' my way out of doing it with some creative ideas... (btw, the whole point of me doing this is to be able to install on a machine with a 905b, the xl driver) also i thought it would be a neat excersize... hehhe, maybe not ;) -Alfred, -- Programmer @ HotJobs Inc.
