Could anyone comment on this to get it working with FreeBSD? sysinstalls gets write-errors after a couple of kilobytes, and when running an already installed system, mount/fsck bomb with sig 11, after that you find yourself in single-user mode with every command (including 'reboot'!) yielding a SIGILL. Funny sight, though. -- Volker Stolz * stolz@i2.informatik.rwth-aachen.de * PGP + S/MIME To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
