I thought maybe he was asking how to build the boot.flp image rather than to put the boot.flp onto the floppy. I want to make one image too ; I want to include the new matcd driver so I won't have to borrow a SCSI CD-ROM every time I want to re-install FreeBSD. But even after taking a look at the /usr/src/release, I still find it's beyond my aiblity to understand what's going on there. -- Yen-Wei Liu Internet e-mail address:ywliu@beta.wsl.sinica.edu.tw ywliu@gate.sinica.edu.tw FAX: +886-2-783-6444
