Hi,
I have (had) many problems with the new PicoBSD 0.43 included in 3.1-Release:
1. the build-process stopped in stage1 with no error and no warning.
I found the following wrong lines in the script,
because the new bootloader resides in /boot:
"dd if=/usr/mdec/boot1 of=fs.PICOBSD conv=notrunc 2> /dev/null"
I changed them to:
"dd if=/boot/boot1 of=picobsd.bin conv=notrunc 2> /dev/null"
1a: In stage3 is this line:
"disklabel -Brw -b /usr/mdec/fdboot -s /usr/mdec/bootfd
/dev/rvn0 fd1440 2>&1 >/dev/null"
I replaced them with:
"disklabel -Brw -b /boot/boot1 -s /boot/boot2 /dev/rvn0 fd1440 2>&1
>/dev/null"
2. Two aout-objects are required in /usr/lib/aout: kzhead.o and kztail.o.
I had to copy these files from my old 3.0 disk.
Wy are there aout things? I thought everything is now ELF?
3. I added PAM, because login has some PAM-functions.
I thing PAM is a good idea, so this isn't a problem,
but should I remove the -DNOSECURE define from blah/crunch1/Makefile CFLAGS?
What does the define -DNOSECURE mean?
3a. What I have to do, if I don't want PAM?
Is it right if I add in blah/crunch1/Makefile the additional CFLAGS:
-DNOPAM? ?
4. The biggest problem is, that my PicoBSD crashes after the device-probing:
Init died with signal 6 and the system automatically reboots?@!
5. Now the PicoBSD takes much more place then the old version, so
I had to remove the sshd. I have now 50KB free without sshd, before
I had 36KB with sshd?
6. Has anybody tried to add "skip" to PicoBSD?
Thanx,
\|/
