I think I successfully built that image using the nanobsd.sh script with the G2348 kernel via the tools/tools/nanobsd/gateworks/avila conf file. Is there a tool that will take nanobsd's "full disk" image, inspect it, and itemize what is really in it? > If you get your root filesystem from some other means (nfs) then you can > just write the kernel itself to redboot. If possible, I specifically want to avoid the use of NFS in this bootstrap process. That's why I think I am trying to use CF. > Andrew Thanks! jdl
