Greetings,

I am upgrading my 3.4 Picobsd install disks to work on 4.2 FreeBSD.  I have been following the threads to try and get one of the options working.  From my email I see the net is the closest and have done the following thus far:

1) I did a make world in /usr/src/

2) I added pseudo-device vn to the kernel, rebuilt and rebooted

3) I added MD_ROOT_SIZE=2200 to the PICOBSD

4) Put the absolute path into the crunch.conf for tinyware.

5) Cd to /usr/src/release/picobsd/tinyware and go into each subdirectory to do a make.

I can create a bootable floppy.  When I put the floppy into a test system it boots and stops saying



Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c
Root mount failed:  22

Manual root filesystem specification:
<fstype>:<device>  Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
                                        eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a
?                            List valid disk boot devices
<emtpy line>           Abort manual input

mountroot>


I tried adding md, md0, md0a, md0c to the Makefile.mfs to make sure the device exists - no luck.  I also tried to remove MD_ROOT and MD_ROOT_SIZE=2200 from the PICOBSD which causes the boot floppy to try and mount /dev/fd0 which fails saying it cannot find the init.  

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Mark Comins
