That is what the hints directive is for. you could create a file "diskless.hints" and add the line to your config file: hints "/wherever/diskless.hints" and the contents of that file would be statically compiled in. You can still override them at boot time if you wish, but the basic set will be there. This is what GENERIC does right now. It compiles GENERIC.hints straight in. (see hints.c in compile/YOURKERNEL) Cheers, -Peter -- Peter Wemm - peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com; peter@netplex.com.au "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
