But what to do if you did your dumps to tape and the fixit disk does not have the right tapedriver? one would like to be able to restore the tape-dumps... You build a custom boot disk with a custom kernel (Handbook). That's what I tried. But: the MINI kernel doesn't fit on the disk, and I stripped it a -lot- :( (my 4.7 MINI kernel is still about 1.2M with ATA-tape drivers) So Now I'm looking at making a custom Live-cd (http://livecd.sourceforge.net/) Probably I'll have a look at PicoBSD as well Maybe someone has a better suggestion? --- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, R.J.
