Hi, all. 2 questions in 1 mail. ;) 1. I have Win95 and FreeBSD on my notebook, booting with FreeBSD's bootmgr. I've recently installed Linux; it now boots off a floppy coz I've wary of having LILO overwrite my boot sector stuff. How can I boot Linux off the harddisk with FreeBSD's bootmgr? 2. After installing Linux, I compiled a kernel (2.0.21) with ufs and FreeBSD disklabel support. Tried (once) to mount FreeBSD's filesystems; not successful. I now want to build a BSD kernel (960801-SNAP) with ext2fs, instead. Config is ok, make depend is ok, just "make" dies. I do a "ktrace make", then when I say "kdump", I get "kdump: Cannot allocate memory". Before I had installed Linux, I could and did compile the BSD kernel. (That's when KTRACE got added.) I can still build Linux kernels. I have 8 MB ram, and 32 MB swap. "swapinfo" says 65408 out of 65536 available. My notebook is a TI Extensa 510; 3com pccard ethernet. Unfortunately, I don't have enough space on the notebook to unpack sources to check myself. I'm not on -questions nor -hackers, so I'd appreciate a direct reply. (Drowning in sheer volume of mail already. ;) TIA. Cheers. -- Ng Pheng Siong <ngps@pacific.net.sg> * Finger for PGP key. Pacific Internet Pte Ltd * Singapore Have a break ... have a Tcl.
