I have put a GENERIC kernel up on freefall as http://www.freebsd.org/~dfr/kernel.GENERIC-300898.gz. This kernel has root hardwired to /dev/rsd0a (because I haven't written the code to figure out which disk was actually booted). If you need a different root, tell me and I'll build another. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
