I had a hard time understanding the rc files so i went with oini. I compiled the pico release with the ehterboot tags, and i had to replace the pico bsd kernel with my kernel because there were some missing options that were freezing my box. i copied the picobsd root system in the /tftpboot folder. i am mount the nfs drives in the oinit file. so far it works but the devices are readonly because etherboot is mounting my root file system as readonly. when i start x my box freezes, and i get fatal error 12 and then it reboots. I hope you have some time of to answer some questions. what could be the cause of this, is it becaue the devices are readonly? is there a way to modify this? can i mount device from nfs so i can write to them? what would be the best way to deal with this? oinit.rc? whereis the path variable set in oinit pico bsd? i modify it, in the rc files but i keep getting the /stand/;/sbin/bin path. could it be the oinit does not like X? I like pico bsd very much, i hope the new realeases have something with etherboot, it truly made it easier to set it up this way. I will be getting a pxe card soon, to but up with netboot. thanks for your time.
