In the interests of sparing my fingers, I'll simply direct you to /usr/src/release/Makefile at this point; you can see how it builds the mfsroot.flp bits and how it also stuffs them into a "big kernel" for the boot.flp bits. Don't be surprised if you have to read it about 11 times to really get the gist, but it will eventually make sense if you have the patience. :) Good luck! - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
