Hi, This is one of those "Stop me before I waste my time." questions.... I have a box w/ a dpt raid controller (DPT PM3755U2B) that I set up with raidutils from the asr-utils port back when the machine was running -STABLE. I've since migrated the machine to -CURRENT, and followed the various threads about the asr-utils not working with sadness but understanding. I'd like to be able to use occasionally the raidutils tool, and am considering buidling some sort of bootable -STABLE system. One thought would be to just use an IDE disk, but even better would be to build a bootable cd that includes the asr-utils port. Does the thought of building a bootable -STABLE cd that includes the asr-tools raise a red flag for anyone? What's the state of the art for making bootable cd's. Google shows a bunch of pages for older 4-series releases, e.g.: http://www.sfc.wide.ad.jp/~watari/FreeBSD/boot.html and I've found cdroot in the ports tree. Is one of these worth diving into? g.
