I assume > Alpha uses a bootable ufs cd instead of RockRidge. Real easy these days! First go make your release and produce an ISO image with mkisofs. Then go build /usr/ports/sysutils/setcdboot on your alpha and do the following: setcdboot your-image.iso /boot/cdboot And the resulting image will be bootable. The 4.0-RC ISO image for the alpha on ftp.freebsd.org went through this process and I managed to boot and install from it just fine. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
