Is it possible to make a FreeBSD disk bootable under DUX? That is, can I install the FreeBSD boot blocks using DUX? I suspect that I'd have to hack disklabel to do the right thing, as well as a special mknode that "copes" with DUX's way of putting special files into the file system. Is there anything fundamentally wrong with this idea? Right now, I have this disk that has all of FreeBSD alpha on it, but don't want to duplicate that on another machine just to netboot the thing to install the bootblocks. Comments? Warner P.S. I'm grabbing sources right now to see how hard this is really going to be... To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the messagehelp
