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?
