I need to install a bunch of FreeBSD boxes and was wondering how I may create a bootable floppy. I thought, hey--this should be no trouble.. but I cannot get it to mount the root filesystem. I basically want to have a floppy capable of writing a partition table, disklabeling, newfsing, and untarring a file over nfs. So.. I created a fs on a floppy, copied a kernel, init and friends, but it hangs after something like "mounting root.." and "configure() finished".. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks, Chris PS, please leave me cc'd
