Thanks to all those that offered suggestions - I had overlooked the obvious solution of just installing the source on another machine and NFS mounting the filesystem across. However, now I have a different problem. I've built a stripped down kernel (from GENERIC), and now it crashes when it boots. (This is on 3.2-RELEASE.) Basically, the bootstrap loader loads the kernel, and when I get the "hit [Enter] to boot" prompt, it crashes with a register dump and halts. If I try and do a boot -c, it does the same thing. I've compared my kernel with the LINT kernel, and I don't think I've removed anything that is necessary. I've attached a copy of it below. <KERNEL> machine "i386" cpu "I486_CPU" ident "STYX.19990706.01" maxusers 10 options MATH_EMULATE #Support for x87 emulation options INET #InterNETworking options FFS #Berkeley Fast Filesystem options FFS_ROOT #FFS usable as root device [keep this!] options MFS #Memory Filesystem options MFS_ROOT #MFS usable as root device, "MFS" req'ed options NFS #Network Filesystem options NFS_ROOT #NFS usable as root device, "NFS" req'ed options NFS_NOSERVER #Disable NFS server code options PROCFS #Process filesystem options "COMPAT_43" #Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!] options SCSI_DELAY=15000 #Be pessimistic about Joe SCSI device options UCONSOLE #Allow users to grab the console options FAILSAFE #Be conservative options USERCONFIG #boot -c editor options VISUAL_USERCONFIG #visual boot -c editor config kernel root on wd0 controller isa0 controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 disk fd1 at fdc0 drive 1 controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0 options ATAPI #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus options ATAPI_STATIC #Don't do it as an LKM controller atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD tty device atkbd0 at isa? tty irq 1 device psm0 at isa? tty irq 12 device sc0 at isa? tty device vga0 at isa? port ? conflicts device npx0 at isa? port IO_NPX irq 13 device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" flags 0x10 tty irq 4 device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 device ppc0 at isa? port? flags 0x40 net irq 7 controller ppbus0 device lpt0 at ppbus? device plip0 at ppbus? device ppi0 at ppbus? device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 5 iomem 0xd0000 device ed1 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 11 iomem 0xd8000 pseudo-device loop pseudo-device ether pseudo-device sl 1 pseudo-device ppp 1 pseudo-device tun 1 pseudo-device bpfilter 4 options IPDIVERT options IPFIREWALL pseudo-device pty 16 pseudo-device gzip # Exec gzipped a.out's options SYSVSHM options SYSVMSG options SYSVSEM -- Matthew Emmerton || http://www.gsicomp.on.ca GSI Computer Services || P: +1 (800) 217-5409 (Canada) Technical Director || F: +1 (519) 335-6584 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
