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, John > Mike Smith wrote: > > > > This sounds like booting/installing from CD-ROM is currently > > > impossible as well ??? > > > > That's correct.
