Works fine in a BOOTP :configuration. -current sources are as of last night. : :I can now boot a -current system from only a floppy disk with a (kgzipped) kernel :on it! : : :(plus some patches (see below) to rc.diskless1 where it (bogusly) temporarily : mounts /usr, since it is already there (it should check for "-d /usr/bin" first), : and rc.diskless2 to mfs a /var/msgs dir) Yah, there's a lot of bogosity in the rc.diskless stuff -- it kinda got stale and needs a major update. My latest rc.diskless stuff avoids mounting /var R+W, which means all the NFS mounts are RO now except for the swap mount. Hopefully I'll get back to it soon. I'll save your patch. Oh shoot, I just realized I forgot the utility support portions in the multi-patch #2 (e.g. the updated vnconfig utility). Ugh. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
