The reason is so that all of the needed bits for both boot types are available to vendors. I can see vendors taking the contents of an ISO, mounting it using mdconfig, adding more bit in another dir, then using mkisofs to generate a new ISO with a different boot method. This would be done w/o rolling an entire release but using the ISO from the Project's release. In other words, I don't think we should require vendors to roll an entire release just to use boot.flp instead of cdboot or vice versa. Please just leave both cdboot and boot.flp on both ISOs. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/
