'make release' as of Aug/01/2001 JST fails, since a kernel for kern.flp is a little bigger and doesn't fit to a 1.44MB floppy. % ls -lR total 1297 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Aug 2 06:11 boot -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1316804 Aug 2 06:11 kernel.gz ./boot: total 162 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 512 Aug 2 06:11 boot1 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 7680 Aug 2 06:11 boot2 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 147456 Aug 2 06:11 loader -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 136 Aug 2 06:11 loader.rc % du -s . 1460 . *** The other day a guy (sorry I forgot who) says that 1) /boot/boot1 and /boot/boot2 can be safely removed, since these are not used. It brings us about 8kbytes. 2) /boot/loader can be kgzip(1)ed. It brings us about (approx.) 60kbytes. Hack 1) is already committed into 5-current so it's safe to do. Hack 2) is not yet commited to any branches, but I've tested with recent 4-stable and 5-current and it works fine. -- - Makoto MATSUSHITA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
