Note: I know the usual way is to use the mailing lists, but the common ones seem to be off topic. Feel free to redirect me to right one, if you cannot help me right away. Thank you! Scope: We are using a stripped down image of the FreeBSD (3.4) install cd to have an auto install cd for our software product. I have problems to use the cd on machines having big IDE drives. Setting the disk geometry to that written on the harddisk in the config script for sysinstall did not help. Instead, what helped was to enable the LBA mode for the IDE controllers in the kernel (controller wdc0/1 ... flags 0xb0ffb0ff, found it in a newsgroup posting). Problem: I need the patched kernel when booting the auto install cd and as the first kernel to be installed on the system. Boot kernel: I guess it is the kern.flp, how do I create a kern.flp with a custom kernel? Install kernel: Where is it and how I can replace it with a custom one? Both kernels: On what config file are they based on (LINT, GENERIC?)? Thank you very much!
