Hello. Can this thing (fbsdboot.exe) in any way boot an ELF kernel? I have never used it myself, but I have a friend who wanted to try out FreeBSD for the first time, and he was not able to boot anything with this thing. The binary is on the 4.0-RELEASE CDs. /* * fbsdboot.c Boot FreeBSD from DOS * * (C) 1994 by Christian Gusenbauer (cg@fimp01.fim.uni-linz.ac.at) And the source even says, that it was written by an assistant at my university 8^), who, however, is long gone from here. "1994" sounds like it might not work anymore. If it is obsolete, why is the binary then still on the boot CD? Please forgive my probably stupid questioning, but I currently cannot try out this myself (who has a machine with DOS on it anyway *g*) Regards, Ferdinand Goldmann To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
