Well, FWIW, I've been modifying my local 'make release' to produce
a 2.88M boot floppy, which I then use as the boot image when I burn a
CD of the SNAP. Works like a champ.
Thus, the isofs creation is a straight run of the code in
examples/worm and cdrecord:
sh /usr/share/examples/worm/makecdfs.sh \
-b "${SNAP}" /cdwork/disc1 /cdwork/cd1.image \
"${SNAP} (c) FreeBSD" && \
cd /cdwork && cdrecord dev=5,0 speed=4 -v cd1.image
If I hop on my soapbox, I'd really like to see a single floppy
network install which supports nfs(which I also re-enable on the
normal boot.flp since it fits on the 2.88M image).
oh well,
