I've been trying to mount a CD-ROM as root on FreeBSD so as to have a self-contained demo of a project that I could run anywhere. However, I found that the "-C" option was apparently being ignored by the new boot loader. The following patch fixed the problem: --- sys/boot/i386/libi386/bootinfo.c.ORIG Mon Mar 22 10:13:36 1999 +++ sys/boot/i386/libi386/bootinfo.c Mon May 24 14:32:01 1999 @@ -79,6 +79,9 @@ case 'c': howto |= RB_CONFIG; break; + case 'C': + howto |= RB_CDROM; + break; case 'd': howto |= RB_KDB; break; Is this worthy of a PR?
