I assume > Alpha uses a bootable ufs cd instead of RockRidge. Not quite -- RockRidge is still useful (especially for Disc 2). Rather you do not specify a boot image as you would on the i386. When I hacked `make release' to support cdbooting on the Alpha, I maked my ISO images by: mkisofs -v -a -o alpha-boot.iso -r -d -T /release/R/cdrom/disc1 mkisofs -v -a -o alpha-liveFS.iso -r -d -T /release/R/cdrom/disc2 setcdboot alpha-boot.iso /boot/cdboot setcdboot alpha-liveFS.iso /boot/cdboot [ `setcdboot' is in ports/sysutils/setcdboot, and has only been tested on the Alpha. If anybody has tried doing the `setcdboot' step on an i386 box I would be interested to hear about it. ] -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
