> Any ideas on better ways to produce an image that i can copy to the > flash ? Hmm, I didn't have any problems getting mine to work. I did take a little different approach. I didn't use fdisk to put a partition table of the flash. I dedicated the whole flash to FreeBSD. For installation, I made a PicoBSD floppy that uses DHCP to get its IP address and DNS info. It then did an NFS mount to a FreeBSD box. This mounted area containes all of the FreeBSD pieces parts needed to put a minimal FreeBSD onto my compact flash card. From memory, my installation process is something like: 1) dhclient 2) mount remote:/install /mnt 3) disklabel 4) newfs /dev/fla0a 5) mount /dev/fla0a /a 6) pax -rw /mnt /a 7) umount /a 8) umount /mnt 9) halt -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Larry Baird | HTTP://www.gnatbox.com Global Technology Associates, Inc. | Orlando, FL Email: lab@gta.com | TEL 407-380-0220, FAX 407-380-6080 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
