I do not have a -current system. Could somebody please make quick-howto and put it somewhere on the internet? I have some webspace available with a fast internet connection.

Basically, you need to grab a loader and cdboot from -current and stick them along with the other loader bits on a CD in /boot, and use '-b boot/cdboot -no-emul-boot' as part of your mkisofs command line. You can then just put the kernel and mfsroot.gz on the root directory of the CD. Be sure to build the ISO with Rock Ridge support however so the loader can find all of its files properly. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
