Greetings, Is there a *standart* way to compile a kernel for selecting root device other than booted. That is to wire into the kernel some root device with ``config kernel root on sd0'' and then boot the kernel with that device being root device. Best I can do is to patch i386/i386/autoconf.c to set boothowto to RB_DFLTROOT. Is there a way to set this flag by default in config? alexis -- The more experienced you are the less people you can get an advise from.
