Message-ID: <20020902174235.B63407-100000@mail.allcaps.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG How do I create a bootable FreeBSD image? For example, if I wanted to boot the kernel off of a floopy (yes, I know that the FreeBSD kernel is larger than 1.44MB) but mount root, swap, etc. off of hard drives? In Linux, the magic command is something like "make bzdisk" which will create a bootable floopy with the kernel on it. I don't know the corresponding magic from "make buildkernel" in FreeBSD, however.
