On Thu, Aug 08, 2002 at 06:32:40PM +0200, John Hay scribbled: | Here is a try at a 3 floppy system. Most people should be able to | install with the first 2 floppies (kern.flp and mfsroot.flp). Just | those that need a driver on the third floppy (drivers.flp) will | need it. | | If this idea is acceptable, we should probably tweak what should | go on the second floppy and what is used the least and put that | on the last one. | | To load drivers from the drivers floppy, go to "Configure" and then | the last option there is "Load KLD". | | The last 2 files in the diff (bld-ko.sh and driver-list.awk) are not | really needed. That is part of my attempt to create a single .ko to | save space on mfsroot.flp. But I can't get internal dependancies to | work yet. Most drivers depend on miibus and that don't get loaded | first. I just want to remind you that there are other drivers which depend on another device to work. At this time, I can think of: cardbus & friends, SCSI/CAM, USB, ongoing work on IEEE1394 ACPI, and PCM(not that installing requires PCM) Cheers, Michael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
