Here's a stab... > I mount the floppy via -t ufs to /mnt and see > only a file 'kernel'. You don't have to mount the floppy after the picobsd script writes it (although it is reassuring to check). You should be able to just boot the floppy that has only the single kernel file "visible". Among other things, this means you can boot a single file and get "everything". > I was expecting to > see directories such as /bin /sbin /etc These dirs/files are "inside" the kernel. You will see them after you boot it. (You can also have other files (or files with the same names as the ones "inside" your kernel) on the floppy, but you don't _need_ them). You cant mount/access/edit the files "inside" the (compressed) kernel file via the mounted floppy. > ((Mount/boot troubles wrt /etc, local vn devices, etc)) On a 4.3-RC system I just built a copy of "router", as you did, and it worked. So, no particular ideas... Maybe delete all the remanants of your last "test" build, and try again. Also, are your host "/dev/vn*" device nodes OK? Perhaps your host "vn" device just never got unmounted, or somesuch?? Sometimes if you get things really hosed messing with mounting, initing, and such, you may want to simply delete the /dev/vn device nodes and recreate them with MAKEDEV. - bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
