Content-Type: text Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Well - I was able to get a floppy system going where I have a kernel, newfs, fsck, init, sh and my "inode trashing" program... and, I have demonstrated the bug with the reduced kernel... [it all just barely fits...] I don't know if I can compile in DDB and still make things fit. Furthermore; I cat get ifconfig on there to enable the network, so I'm not sure how to get a new kernel there... Finally, if someone could help me with SERIAL_CONSOLE (point me to the documentation?) I can get that going... then, anyone would be able to telnet into my network, start kermit and try this out themselves... (How does DDB work with SERIAL_CONSOLE anyway, what's the "hot-key?") Hmm... now that I think about it; maybe all I need on the floppy is the shell, ifconfig and mount_nfs... I might be able to mount the other things... and then you could ftp new kernels to the floppy... - Dave Rivers -
