The kernel distributed with the ISOs is the generic kernel, so if you have the source (it's also on the DVD) you'll find the GENERIC kernel configuration file in /usr/src/sys/YOUR_ARCH/conf/GENERIC and you can see what are the compile options. You'll see these options: options MD_ROOT # MD is a potential root device options NFSCL # New Network Filesystem Client options NFSD # New Network Filesystem Server options NFSLOCKD # Network Lock Manager options NFS_ROOT # NFS usable as /, requires NFSCL The first one is required, this allows your kernel to mount a memory disk device (your mfsroot), the others enable NFS. You need to rebuild the kernel with NFS disabled. BR, Erik -- M: +34 666 334 818 T: +34 915 211 157
