Then, prepare a 8.2 world along with the kernel containing the mps driver an= d/or module. Once your image is done, install a dummy Linux on your box. Next, inject your mfsbsd image in the disks with dd , and reboot. Once you reboot you'll have a fully functional bsd running from ram. You will then be able to perform a manual install as I roughly describe here= : http://my.gd/bsd.htm(l) You will also need, once your install is done, to recopy a kernel including t= he mps driver, seeing the one from the 8.2 isos doesn't. > Thanks, > Jaime Kikpole >=20 > --=20 > Network Administrator > Cairo-Durham Central School District > http://cns.cairodurham.org > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.or= g"
