I'm trying to build a 16M FreeBSD image (like PicoBSD, but not as small). I'm doing it under 4.0 (I need the USB code). I'm trying to test it with bochs (I tryed vmware before, but gave up). I've tryed many variations of the following: # dd if=/dev/zero bs=1048576 count=16 of=16M-bochs # vnconfig -u -v vn0 # vnconfig -v vn0 16M-bochs # disklabel -R -r vn0 bochs.label # fdisk -I -B -v vn0 (test image -- no boot blocks found) # disklabel -w -B vn0 auto (gets "disklabel: No space left on device", same with "disklabel -w -B vn0 bochs.label") bochs.label contains: # /dev/rvn0c: type: unknown disk: amnesiac label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 17 tracks/cylinder: 8 sectors/cylinder: 136 cylinders: 240 sectors/unit: 32640 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 32623 17 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 65279) a: 32640 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 65279) With this it claims "disklabel: ioctl DIOCSDINFO: open partition would move or shrink". If I take out the a partition, or use "auto" rather then "bochs.label" the disklabel seems to work, but no boot blocks are written. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?
