Please note: none of the code shipped in /usr/src/gnu is in the boot path. In other words, you can build a bootable FreeBSD system without it. For an FS that will be used as the root FS (/), this is not true. It is not legal for us to distribute CDROMS capable of installing a new FreeBSD system wit only JFS partitions, due to the license. You really should follow Alfreds advice, and go read the list archives, where this issue was discussed in detail, before. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
