I'm trying to build a boot/root pair of floppies for installing freebsd
2.0.5 from, but with the addition of the wcd driver in the kernel. I ran into
some problems using an MFS filesystem size of 1150 (what it originally was), so
I upped it to the least amount it could possible require, 1278 (why the mfs
grew, I don't know, I'd think that just the kernel would grow, no?). So I
obviously ended up using a 1.44M floppy to put the image on. Anyhow, I
set this all up and built a boot.flp with the appropriate drivers in the
kernel. I then booted this floppy and what happened was it loaded, started
uncompressing the kernel, and output "Malloc wrapped" twice, followed by a
munging of the first character of the second "Malloc wrapped," and then a
reboot. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? I'd really like to get
this working this week so that some people around here with ATAPI cdrom drives
can install off their cdroms that they bought from the CS department. Thanks
in advance!
