U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de The important word as you told is: ================================================================= > The kernel on the boot.flp is a special (crunched) kernel that > contains the binaries as well. my questions is how to make boot.flp above ???? how to put both of the binaries and the kernel together inside to the boot.flp files. note: if we mount the boot floppy (dev/fd0) which had already rawrited in to /mnt we will see that the kernel only there in. it means you are true that in the boot.flp is the special kernel. I means, how to make this special kernel ??? Please help me, if I can do like boot.flp, so I'm sure my friend will happy without me have to recompile kernel in the /usr/src/sys/compile/MYMACHNE there are three machines with the same merk, using MO, CDWRITER, SOUND BLASTER and so on. so we need to make boot.flp to boot maachine at the first time before installing all. OK very-very thank for your help I need this procedure sincerely yours, yono yono@uopmu.ees.osakafu-u.ac.jp
