I have been trying to make a boot floppy for my 4.STABLE box from Aug 3rd. I formatted the floppy, and I can boot from it, but when I run top, I get top: nlist failed Searching through the archives, the only references to it, deal with the kernel being out of date with the rest of world. On the boot floppy I created newmail# cat boot.config 0:ad(0,a)/kernel newmail# and did a cp -pR /boot to the floppy. Like I said, it all boots fine, and uname -a gives the same kernel info/version as booting without it. I am still searching through the mailinglist/newsgroup archives for the definitive guide on making a boot floppy but have yet to find the exact reference on what I am missing. Can anyone correct my pilot error or point me in the right direction as to what I need to do to make a boot floppy ? I am trying to work around the fact that my BIOS will not let me which 'scsi' device I want to boot with. It always defaults to the 3ware RAID controller and not my Adaptect 2940.
