In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-small@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I got around the commit issue by having a UFS formatted floppy with a "etc" directory. In the mfs.rc script, before ". rc", I attempt to mount the floppy, and if successful, copy the contents of "etc" overtop of "/etc". That way, I can fine tune my configuration without reburning CDs. When you have a configure that is good, put the changes into you pico tree, build and burn. -- Andrew P Barney On Mon, 18 Sep 2000, at 12:14, Tim Small wrote: > Hi, > > It's pretty easy to put an image of a 2.88M floppy onto a bootable ("El > Torito") CDROM - boot time is quicker too, but you can't commit writes on a > running system.
