Thanks again .. much twiddling and tweaking going on .... I understand the need for /etc dir on the floppy but what files need to go in the /root one ? #$&**(^$#T% I believe that the phrase is "bother!" this pile of junk that the boss wants me to use has just had a floppy drive collapse ... not booting, lotsa errors, I'm going home (ps itsa 100MHz Pentium-S which seems to work fine when the floppy works!) (pps At least the BIG MACHINE, a Compaq A550, is going like a train .....) And when I get a new drive and dd another disk I will come back and carry on rewardless (sigh) If there is any other pointers you can give to a pico-newbie they would be greatly appreciated. mjt > -----Original Message----- > From: Luigi Rizzo [SMTP:luigi@info.iet.unipi.it] > Sent: Thursday, 15 March 2001 19:43 > To: Murray Taylor > Subject: Re: PicoBSD Bridge build breaks on 'MFS filesystem signature > not foun d in kernel' > > > Question: > > Where do I preset the values for hostname / card addresses ...
