I want to make a bootable CD of FreeBSD 2.2.6, I used mkhybrid and generate a 644M iso image. I use the boot.flp as my boot image, but it doesn't boot from my CD-ROM, only show a line of message(some FD-00) and halt. Can the boot.flp be used as the CD boot image? I've a FreeBSD 2.2.5 CD and it contains a fbsdboot.exe and a 2.5M kernel, just run 'fbsdboot.exe -D kernel' and it can begin installation under DOS. Just like the loadlin.exe of Linux. But where can I find the installation kernel of 2.2.6? (fbsdboot just boot the kernel, then where the root filesystem?) I've checked the kernel.GENERIC in bin directory, only 1.5M, can it be used with the fbsdboot.exe to begin installation under DOS? Or the FreeBSD 2.2.5 CD's 2.5M kernel is OK? Eager to hear from you! I am a new comer of FreeBSD, last 1 years I used Linux. :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
