Hi all---
I'm configuring my first FreeBSD kernel (having a fair amount of
experience with NetBSD kernels). I'm finding the kernel configuration
chapter of the FreeBSD handbook quite helpful, but not comprehensive
(whereas the NetBSD options(4) man page is comprehensive but not
helpful). For instance, it is not at all clear to me what
options "CD9660_ROOT" #CD-ROM usable as root. "CD9660" req'ed
means. I have some guesses, one of which is probably right, but....
And zgrepping through /usr/share/man/cat* for that string garners
no hits at all....
Is there some other place I should be looking for documentation on
this sort of thing, or is it time to read the source?
