I'm the only FreeBSD user in my department, if not
in the whole university :(. This send-pr is a typical
FreeBSD thing and I have no permission to send
email directly from my FreeBSD PC.
Trying to send such a pr (I tried before) will
not get me anywhere; and that only to tell you again
what I already have told you in the earlier email.

So I'm willing to help; but without that send-pr
stuff. Sorry; I like FreeBSD very much, except this
send-pr thing.

The patch for /usr/ports/net/etherboot/pkg-descr:

Replace:
  cd work/etherboot/src 
  cat bin/boot1a.bin bin/<device>.zrom > /dev/fd0
By:
 # cd /usr/ports/net/etherboot
 # make patch
 # cd work/etherboot-5.2.4/src
 # gmake bin/<device>.dsk
 # dd if=bin/<device>.dsk of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 conv=sync


However, I'm confused why, on the 4th line, only
gmake works, whereas make ends with an error.
This breaks with the way ports should work,
doesn't it?

Rob.
