I and my associate finally got the make release mechanism all figured out and working and even got the boot floopy created. However, when using the floopy for installs, we end up with a page fault whilst unpacking the distributions early in the install process. The last CVSUP took place on Jan. 21 and was wondering if there were any known caveats with the stable branch at this point. We did apply a vfs_bio.c patch posted early (I believe in this group - or maybe in stable) with no effect (one of the panics was in vfs_...something or other). Tony Holmes Greg A. Woods
