I got it to the point to where the CD will boot, load the kernel, but that's as far as it get's. It does when it get's to the part where it wants to mount the root devicd. It tried to access the floppy drive. So, do I need to vnconfig the boot.flp and put my own custom loader in it or what? I don't want to be puting -C in every time I boot. Also, when I put in -C, the kernel will load, but then can't find the CD device.... Any ideas would be appreciated. Maybe step by step instructions on making a custom bootable live cd would be nice. Thanks. Sincerely, Rick Duvall To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
