It results in a root.flp image that's only 512 bytes long.. :-( Looks like Bruces changes to cpio to skip dumping dev nodes that have high values is causing some problems :-(. > Building the root.flp in /usr/src/release/Makefile *used* to work, but > now this.

Looks like we are going to have to be _very_ carefull that we build 2.1R on a 2.1R system or we may get some really bizzare problems :-(. And you may very well want to build your 2.2 snaps on a 2.0.5R system for similiar reasons, until 2.1R can be rolled :-(. 2.0.5R cpio should properly read 2.2 cpio files, if it does not we have a bigger problem than I thought :-(. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
