Its more complicated than I thought. It is pretty straightforward for sparc in NetBSD http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/bootcd.html#sparcimage I was actually trying to make bootable images for sparc64 in brothers of FreeBSD =) The NetBSD and OpenBSD and I thought since there is a working sparc64 image in FreeBSD (I already installed it and made a installation document) I thought the FreeBSD people would know the thing I am doing wrong. I downloaded the miniroot.fs and made a iso with mkisofs with NetBSD and OpenBSD files and then I tried to do mksunbootcd output.sio miniroot.fs miniroot.fs miniroot.fs but well something went wrong. Any suggestions? Evren On Tue, 20 Aug 2002, Thomas Moestl wrote: > On Tue, 2002/08/20 at 15:37:35 +0300, Evren Yurtesen wrote: > > How is it possible to make a bootable CD for sparc64?
