This question was already discussed here, too :) That was my questions, as well as previous one: Josef Karthauser <joe@tao.org.uk>: This needs a little work to fix in -current, and back to -stable. Recently the /boot/loader was removed from the PICOBSD build to free up space on the floppy image. This meant that we had to put the MFS filesystem back into the kernel, rather than use the loader to pull the image off the disk. The kernel needs an 'options MD_ROOT_SIZE X" adding to its config file before it builds, and the full mechansim to organise this hasn't been build into the ./build process yet. (We're working on it - patches welcome :O) Which picobsd build are you making? Have a look in the PICOBSD file in its directory and add an option, as above, if it's not there. The X stands for the memory file system size, and should be the same as you use in the ./build config screen. Luigi Rizzo <rizzo@aciri.org>: in the kernel config file you have to put the following line: options MD_ROOT_SIZE=2200 # same as def_sz where the number (2200) should be the mfs_image_size, same as the one in the line #PicoBSD 2200 init 4096 32768 I think i committed to -stable the fix for the 'bridge' floppy type, but i probably forgot the other types. -- Alexander Prohorenko, Extra Solutions http://extra.com.ua "Good day to be alive, sir" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
