Hello - I recently got interested in PicoBSD due to my aquiring a 486/33 laptop with a dead harddisk. After little consideration, I cam to the conclusion that it wasn't worth me sinking any money into fixing it's problems, but I am hoping I can get it running pico off the disk drive (functional) and it will allow me to ssh into my other machine. Here's the rundown on what I need: ssh, couple vty's (getty), plip (no net card either), ifconfig. My problem is this: none of the circe-1998 floppies have this, and my attempts to build my own disks have failed thus far. I *can* boot the 1998 images on the website, but when I compile and attempt my own, I can get the process to complete until it attempts to mount the root filesystem on /dev/md0c. At that point, it hangs, the only fix is to power cycle the machine. At this point I am out of ideas, and I am hoping that you might be able to point me in the correct direction. I have also tried building the image from http://www.voisine.org/stylistic/ which should work on this configuration, same problem exisits. I am using -stable sources, cvsup every other day, system builds on the 1st of each month. thanks for any help ~jon ===== ========================================================== "Did you ever wonder if the person in the puddle is real, and you're just a reflection of him?" - Calvin (from Calvin & Hobbes) ========================================================== Rev.
