as you can imagine, the only version that i tested somehow (and on a local tree, with the /usr/ports/picobsd things) is the "bridge" one... So if you have patches to the PICOBSD and crunch.conf files, they are welcome... One note -- oinit was a solution to save memory and let the system run in 4MB. I seriously doubt we can even think of it with 4.x due to generic code bloat. At which point, the next viable configs being 8 or 16MB, who cares about 200KB more in the decompressed image as long as it fits the floppy. cheers luigi > > A hard "panic: no init" occurs when attempting to > boot the vanilla uncustomized picobsd "dial" > configuration under 4.3 BETA (4.3-BETA #0: Mon Mar > 12).
