I am just now compiling the new picobsd router configuration (picobsd 0.4)
and have developed the following questions/comments:
1. build/clean does not remove the
$(SRC}/sys/i386/conf/PICOBBSD${suffix}.${SIZE} file. If you make changes in
source files remove this manually so the test will fail and the kernel will
be rebuilt.
2. There is no way to edit the configuration files (to change the hostname
for example). I added ee to the router/crunch.conf file for this. Is there
a better way? Can't use nfs as the mount command doesn't support it.
3. The update script does not work, probably because the custom shell does
not support scripts. The script commands can be entered manually to mount
the floppy and copy the editied conf files. Is there a better way?
4. On "umount /dev/fd0a", an error message is displayed "part 1, stat=0,
size=2880\n dkl: slice 1 overlaps slice 0". Does this indicate a problem?
5. There is no Makefile in tinyware/simple_httpd so the build/clean script
fails at this point and doesn't go on. Solution was to copy and edit
Makefile from tinyware/sps.
6. The file /README referenced on the splash screen is not present.
Haven't done any testing yet but it does compile cleanly on 3.0-SNAP (May
24, 1998) using about half of a 1.44M floppy and starts up in 4 MB with 160
MB and 27 i-nodes available.
