I looked at nextboot(8) which mentions WRITEBACK nameblocks. So I looked in /sys/i386/boot/biosboot, and the Makefile mentions: # Enable code to take the default boot string from a fixed location on the # disk. See nextboot(8) and README.386BSD for more info. #CFLAGS+= -DNAMEBLOCK #CFLAGS+= -DNAMEBLOCK_WRITEBACK Should _both_ be undef'ed ? If so, then the compile gives: [...] dd if=boot.nohdr of=boot2 bs=512 skip=1 14+1 records in 14+1 records out 7216 bytes transferred in 0.000877 secs (8227837 bytes/sec) boot2 is too big *** Error code 2 ... but it dumps ok with only CFLAGS+= -DNAMEBLOCK_WRITEBACK but will it work ? -- -[ Philippe Regnauld / sysadmin / regnauld@deepo.prosa.dk / +55.4N +11.3E ]- The Internet is busy.
