I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.5 on a laptop with no floppy or CD. I have copied the install kernel/mfsroot image off a floppy via vnconfig but even with the minimalist loader.rc I am finding the install kernel mounts my hard disk root, not the MFS root Its been given in memory. What can I do in loader phase to tell a kernel to use MFSROOT as the only image? I suspect the install kernel is 'smart' - Sees a valid FS on the disk and is using it for its init path. cheers -George To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
