The following reply was made to PR kern/2521; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" <jkh@time.cdrom.com> To: marquard@Zilker.NET Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: kern/2521: kernel from 2.1.6 install CD doesn't accept `-c' argument Date: Sat, 18 Jan 1997 08:22:50 -0800 > I thought it might be a problem with the version of > fbsdboot.exe on the 2.1.6 CD, but I tried the 2.1.5 CD-ROM's The problem is basically that the 2.1.6 (and later) kernels are incompatible with UserConfig's argument passing now. The kernel *always* assumes -c now, but if there are no commands in the boot blocks then nothing is done, it just quits again. Since there are no boot blocks in the fbsdboot case, I'm not sure what to do here. Probably all I can do is change the default userconfig behavior to always drop into the intro screen by default when there are no boot block commands for it. :-(
