(back in early January) This archive contains also the second image, which contains GENERIC kernel with CAM, but without MFS. It also contains necessary programs (cp, rm, mount....) to bootstrap this kernel in place of generic GENERIC :-), which was put in /kernel during installation (and which doesn't support 7895). BTW. I recall that someone (jkh?) mentioned at that time that there was going to be a next snapshot of the CAM code RSN. If it's true, and if I can grab it, I'll be happy to prepare newer version of cam-boot.flp.
