Output message from the GENERIC kernel is: real kernel start address will be: 0x1 real kernel end address will be: 0x65aac68a kzip: bad magic in file kernel, probably not a kernel kzip: extract returned 200 >How-To-Repeat: On a standard 3.1-RELEASE installation: $ kzip /kernel (or any other ELF-compiled kernel) >Fix: A workaround exists if you compile the kernel as a.out format AND you copy the files kzhead.o and kztail.o from a 3.0 or earlier machine (tested with 2.2.2) to /usr/lib/aout. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
