Well, to make boot floppies you generally have to make a release. That is a major pain. But, someone has already done the work for you! Check out: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/cam-boot.tgz It is a CAM boot floppy, probably made from our latest released CAM snapshot. (back in early January) If you've got questions about it, mail Andrzej Bialecki <abial@nask.pl>. If for some reason that doesn't work for you, I'd suggest getting a supported controller and doing the install that way. (If you have any other FreeBSD boxes, you have a supported controller!) Then download the -current source and patch in the CAM changes. Then just dump that disk over onto the disks on the other machines. :) Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@plutotech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
