Once again, the mail archives are 'unavailable,' so I resort to going directly to the list (anyone have ways to search the mail archive when it is unavaialble for searching at www.freebsd.org? mirrors?). I am trying to create a custom, bootable CD of 3.1 for installing on some systems that cannot be connected to the Internet. I know there are websites with info about how to create such things, but without the mail archives, I have been unable to track any down. Anyone have a pointer for me? I have used mkisofs to create a ISO9660 image. I used vnconfig to mount it as a first check of the image. However, I'm not sure how to check if it was properly created as bootable without writing it to a CD first. I did try to just write it. I used cdrecord on device 'dev=/dev/rcd0.ctl' but the command failed after just a few seconds. I'd like to verify my procedure from an instructional website before I go spamming maillists with the error output however. Thanks a lot. -- Crist J.
