Bear in mind, though, that you'll need additional 100kB of place on the floppy (that's approx. the difference between kzip stubs and the /boot/loader). In this light it makes sense to do what rnordier suggested - namely, to write a small BTX application which would only be able to load kernel.gz. I _may_ embark on such a project if I have some docs about how to use BTX. Andrzej Bialecki -------------------- ++-------++ ------------------------------------- ||PicoBSD|| FreeBSD in your pocket?
