Do you have a spare disk that you can dedicate to FreeBSD, keeping the NetBSD one around just in case? If so, it will be a lot easier to use the NetBSD tools to disklabel, newfs, mount and untar the tarball in Doug's home directory on freefall, then just boot the FreeBSD kernel and go from there. With FreeBSD tools, the FreeBSD kernel and world builds normally. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
