I am wanting to make an emergency restore cd to put some /bin and /sbin files on it and a kernel so that I can do restores. Don't want to use floppies. The idea is that the cd would boot into a generic kernel, and ask for the tape to be inserted. It would then run amrestore and restore the last backup (or whatever backup that was put in the drive). I do the following command when burning the cd: mkisofs -R -J -T -b floppies/boot.flp -c floppies/boot.catalog -o /usr/cdrom.iso /usr/backup boot.flp and boot.catalog are the same ones that are on the install cd. When I boot from this cd, the files that I put in the /bin and /sbin directories aren't there, and it boots into the FreeBSD install. I am assuming that is because the boot.flp is what it's getting it from. Guess I need to make my own .flp image to burn to the cd, or does anybody have any idea on how I can get boot blocks so that the CD will boot single user mode to amrestore? Thanks.
