Any -stable 'make release' machine, with vn0 devices enabled.
>Description:
'make release' fails as cpio populates the vn0 device on /mnt for
the boot.flp: space is just a bit too scarce for the ever-growing
/kernel.gz file.
>How-To-Repeat:
cvsup, make release RELEASETAG=RELENG_4 CVSROOT=Your_CVSROOT
>Fix:
boot.flp and kern.flp do not need /boot/boot? files, since
they are on the mfsroot image, those are used by the ramdisk
programs anyway (this saves 1k). /boot/loader can be kgzip-ed
to save another 40k.
The following patch to src/release/Makefile does that, buying
us some time until kernel.gz will have used up the gained 41k:
