In fact I either take a detour though CD or over the NET. Once the FreeBSD boot loader has been started it will grab the kernel from the UFS root file system. One big factor in this is that we don't support HFS+ and as such I've been looking at that. If someone knows of BSD licensed implementations (or parts thereof), let me know. I don't want to reinvent the wheel... -- Marcel Moolenaar xcllnt@mac.com
