That's a nice idea; I guess I could've saved some time with cross-building on faster x86 box. Netbooting is a lifesaver indeed; that's how I originally installed and also recovered couple of times after screwing up. Peter's [*] DHCP server sample config was really handy. :-) However, since my custom slim kernels expect matching /boot/loader.conf, I don't know if it would be possible to test them (GENERIC is not a problem, of course) with netboot other than manually loading modules on the console. ./danfe [*] http://people.freebsd.org/~grehan/install.html
