I have created a new kern.flp image. It is located at: http://my.beerfountain.com/~miker/new-kern.flp The boot loader I used is on that floppy. I think we will need to make an addition to the boot syntax: load /kernel echo \007\007 echo Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter: read load -t mfs_root /mfsroot echo \007\007 autoboot 10 I believe we need to implement an unmount command and a mount command so the disk can be unmounted and then remounted after the keypress. Possibly a changedisk command if that would be more approprate. Otherwise the disk drive is never shut off because it's open count is still set to 1. Maybe opinions can be given on this before I sit down and do it. -Michael _________________________________________________________________ http://fastmail.ca/ - Fast Free Web Email for Canadians --------------Boundary-00=_KNJ8Y293LIFNTT4D7TH0-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
