I've been toying around with various embedded systems in the last few days and PicoBSD peaks my interest. So I loaded the sources on my FreeBSD 4.6 server, stuck in a 3½" floppy and then followed the docs to the best I could. Here's my command list: cd /home/my_home_dir mkdir pico cd pico cp -R /usr/src/release/picobsd/net mysys I then edited the ./net/PICOBSD file to adjust the IRQ on ed1 and enabled the serial port for COM3, IRQ5. I also edited the floppy.tree/etc/ppp/ppp.conf file with the settings for my ISP and I inserted an floppy.tree/etc/firewall with the same rules I use when the server runs 4.6-REL. Then I execute this command: picobsd mysys Everything goes fine and the floppy gets written. I then reboot the computer and the floppy starts booting, but it crashes each time saying it cannot find init - Going nowhere without my init. I tried the process three times and got the same results each time. Can anyone offer some pointers here. This same system has been running every version of FreeBSD since 1997 without problem and it runs Freesco and Gnatbox quite well too. I'd really like to get PicoBSD for it's flexibility.
