Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Dear Questions@freebsd, So I blow up my kernel, big panic, system won't boot. FreeBSD panic floppy broken (of course). Solution: set `boot from CDROM' in BIOS, pop in the FreeBSD 2.2.2 cdrom and enter fixit mode. Ten minutes later I'm typing an e-mail to the FreeBSD questions list, to tell the world how good I think FreeBSD is. One minor point: could the 2nd `live' cdrom perhaps be made bootable too, with a special fixit kernel (or any kernel). That would eliminate changing the cdrom halfway. Good work guys, thanks. Enjoy, Kees Jan PS. This isn't the kind of e-mail to respond to, but if you do, please CC me, as I'm not on the list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kees Jan Koster Hatertseweg 468 6533 GV Nijmegen the Netherlands tel. +31-24-3555870 e-mail: dutchman@tccn.cs.kun.nl ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The reason computer chips are so small is computers don't eat much.
