What is the "NFS SERVER SOFTWARE MODULE"? If it is for PCNFS, not real NFS, then FreeBSD will probably not be able to mount it. > 2) I would like to make a new boot floppy from my FreeBSD 2.1 , is it > possible to do withoput recompiling all the distribution ? You can copy the disks as many times as you want using rawrite. If you are trying to replace the kernel with a modified verion, you will have to recompile the build environment. This doesn't take recompiling the wholedistribution, but it takes some work, and you will need to research how to do this in the handbook or the questions archives on the WWW server.
