I tried to find something about this in the FreeBSD docs, but I didn't look very hard: http://romana.now.ie/writing/customfreebsdiso.html >From the article: """ I needed to install FreeBSD on a system (a Dell PowerEdge 400SC) with an LSILogic 1030 Ultra4 SCSI adapter.

""" It's for a different driver patch, not sure if it will work as I haven't tried it myself, and again it's not the FreeBSD docs, but hopefully it will help a bit. > cd /usr/src > # make release -DMAKE_ISOS > `release' is up to date. > # > > yet, no .iso-files to find :-( > > I also came across /usr/src/release/i386/mkisoimages.sh The link I found was googled with "mkisoimages.sh" as the query string.
