Here's where I'm at. The as-is distribution compiles ok. The deletions I have made to the kernel config file have compiled ok ( i just commented out the unused isa net cards and the I686 line ) The disk boots ok in the 100MHz Pentium-s system I'm using. (This system was used very successfully as a Pico (4.2) bridge) I now need to configure it as a router, and cannot get any rc type files to be applied upon booting. I have managed to get my files into an /etc directory on the pico disk as .gz files by changing the line in the picobsd script to INCLUDE_FLOPPY_IN_MFS="no" but no further success. All I want to get the disk to do on boot is ifconfig de0 inet 203.x.y.z netmask 255... ifconfig de1 inet 10.x.y.z netmask 255... ipfw /etc/ipfw.rules route add .... Given the recent updates to picobsd may I respectfully suggest that (A) we are not all kernel hackers and cant follow all the boot time black magic. (B) that some major effort be expended on the doco, especially for sysadmins and configuring systems. Dont get me wrong -- pico is great! BUT I am a TCL/SQL programmer who has to act as sysadmin and create a firewalled router _RIGHT NOW_ (thanks boss!) I would hate to see such good work be wasted 'cos people cant use it easily. BTW: I have read the pico FAQ on www.cse.ucsc.edu/~brucem/pico_notes.htm and this has helped a bit, but I still need and step by step process, as pico does not seem to be doing the /etc file 'overwriting' mentioned in that doc. OR if it is, then the boot process is not seeing my files.
