I've started getting confused. I modified doFS.sh to print out what is being copied onto the floppy... What I find is: + mount /dev/vn0c /mnt + [ -d /R/stage/boot.std ] + set -e + cd /R/stage/boot.std + find . -print . ./boot ./boot/boot0 ./boot/nb8390.rom ./boot/nb8390.com ./boot/nb3c509.rom ./boot/nb3c509.com ./boot/loader ./boot/fbsdboot.exe ./boot/cdboot ./boot/boot2 ./boot/boot1 ./boot/rawboot ./boot/boot.conf ./boot/loader.config ./boot.config ./kernel.gz ./boot.help ./kernel.config + set -e + cd /R/stage/boot.std + find+ cpio . -dump -print /mnt /mnt: write failed, file system is full cpio: write error: No space left on device *** Error code 1 Well, cdboot by itself is a major problem.... It seems to me we're not putting what we think we are onto the floppy... Either doFS.sh needs to be smarter, or someone is starting to populate the boot subdir with things that didn't used to be there... Comments? Critiques? Helpful clues? Thanks!
