You can modify the existing floppy images. boot.flp contains the first part of the kernel and kern*.flp the further parts. Build a custom kernel using makeoptions MODULES_OVERRIDE="" in your kernel configuration file. # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf # config YOURKERNEL # cd ../compile # make cleandepend; make depend # make Take your kernel file and compress it: # gzip -9nc kernel > kernel.gz Now you can use the 'split-file.sh' script from src/release/scripts to split the compressed kernel into parts. # /usr/src/release/scripts/split-file.sh kernel.gz destdir 1392 Kernel You can mount a floppy disk image with the following commands: # mdconfig -af boot.flp md45 # mount /dev/md45 /mnt Replace the kernel parts with your own. I hope this helps. I havn't tested it before. There are other ways that are more elegant. Regards Björn
