I get "unable to live if I can't run init" after putting the MFSROOT disk in. I looked at the mail list archives and found several references to removing memory but, my 64Meg is fixed and can't be removed. 2 solutions come to mind: First, get a generic kernel from some kind person and, Second, set some boot time options.... NOTE: I do not have FBSD installed anywhere else to build a custom kernel. Can anyone offer some ideas ? P.S. I have aleady sent this to the hardware list and have had no responses yet. - a __________________________________________________________ Get your FREE personalized e-mail at http://www.canada.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
