And again - i have boot floppies made out of images boot.flp and mfsroot.flp. I am compiling a new kernel (on some other FreeBSD box), gzipping it and replacing the kernel on boot floppy with this new kernel. This new kernel panicks as soon as it begins to load. This same new kernel does not panick when booted from the harddrive. Question - what if anything should i configure so that kernel will boot from the floppy (and in particular from the modified boot.flp) Any takers? --Ugen "G.
