someone please take a look at my below steps in creating a picobsd image and tell me what if anything i'm doing wrong. 1. build box = 4.3-RELEASE 2. extracted entire /usr/src tree 3. cd'd to /usr/src/release/picobsd && cp'd -R router test 4. cd'd to /usr/src/release/picobsd/build && ran ./picobsd test 5. left the kernel untouched for test purposes && built the kernel The build process seemed to work for it asked me to insert a floppy to write the picobsd.bin image to disk. I mount the floppy via -t ufs to /mnt and see only a file 'kernel'. From here on in is were i get lost. I was expecting to see directories such as /bin /sbin /etc etc. but all i see is the 'kernel'. I thought maybe this 'kernel' file is another image, so i did vnconfig vn0 kernel then mount /dev/vn0c /mnt but i get invalid super block or similar error. So then i tried dd if=kernel of=/dev/md0 then i try mount /dev/md0c /mnt but i get a Bad block error. I tried booting off of the newly created disk but i get a kernel panic that it can't find /bin /sbin dir and the system enters a continuos loop. I've tried every version included within the picobsd source (dial, net, etc.) with all the same results. Am i missing something? Any help would be much appreciated Thanks, Ryan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
