Hi, given that now 3.1/4.0 seem to have better diskless support, i am in the need of building the boot images for the diskless workstation. Netboot does not support elf kernels, so i think i have the following alternatives: * use netboot with an aout kernel * build a bootable floppy with an ELF kernel (btw what is the magic sequence to put the appropriate stuff on the disk, something along the lines of fdformat fd0 disklabel ... newfs ... mount /dev/fd0 /mnt gzip < /sys/compile/DISKLESS/kernel > /mnt/kernel.gz umount /mnt but what are the right args for disklabel and newfs ? Also on the same subject i notice that RELENG_3 still has some wrong (old) references in /etc/rc to rc.diskless instead of rc.diskless[12], and the latter two files are missing. thanks luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO .
