Just use a >simple loader.rc like the install floppies do. I'm currently working on it used to be like this, and i kind-of liked the idea, but the loader takes some 70-100KB on the compressed image and on 4.x and 5.x there is virtually no space left on the floppy to afford this. > killing write_mfs_in_kernel from the release no problem, if you do that i will put it in tinyware just for picobsd purposes. cheers luigi ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
