#define quoting(Jordan K. Hubbard) // All: Sorry the boot.flp has been broken for this long, but I've had // other distractions lately. I will make it work once more, somehow // or other, and just keep your eyes on current.freebsd.org over // the next few days. When it returns to 1.44MB in size again, give // it a try. :) Another problem I had with that snap here is that it does not install on a machine with 8M RAM. It started installing, but stopped in random places during file copy. It did work after I remade the kern.flp with only the devices I had (thus, using less memory). I noticed that swapping was disabled in the BOOTMFS kernel. Is this really necessary ? How hard is to add an option "use this swap partition during install", or even a "create and use a vn swap file in /usr/tmp during install" ? Or should I just assume 8M RAM machines are not any more supported ? Jonny PS: Wow !!! The new loader made dealing with boot.flp a very easy task. :) -- Joao Carlos Mendes Luis M.Sc.
