With unionfs there are two methods. (Note: genunion is what Derrick created in trunk currently.) --- Method 1) The /mnt/kd/ path is a part of the unionfs "rw" overlay to the base "ro" filesystem. Note: This method requires the "astkd=" NOT be defined in the KCMD. If method 1 is your choice, starting from a single, first FAT16 partition CF, create a second ext2 partition. Next, execute the script "genunion /dev/xxx2" and answer "yes" to the "continue using a keydisk" question. Edit your run.conf to define "asturw=/dev/xxx2", remove "astkd=/dev/ xxxN" reboot. The /mnt/kd/ path will contain your persistent files, including rc.conf. --- Method 2) The /mnt/kd/ path is traditional mount-point to a separate ext2 partition. Note: This method requires the "astkd=/dev/xxxN" be defiend in the KCMD, and pointing to a valid ext2 partition. If method 2 is your choice, starting from a single, first FAT16 partition CF, create two ext2 partitions. Next, execute the script "genunion /dev/xxx2" BUT answer "no" to the "continue using a keydisk" question. Then, execute the script "genkd /dev/xxx3". Edit your run.conf to define "asturw=/dev/xxx2" and "astkd=/dev/ xxx3", reboot. The /mnt/kd/ path will contain your persistent files, including rc.conf. --- Fred, you have specified "astkd=/dev/sda1" in your KCMD, if there is no /dev/sda1, then this is a problem. If you want to use method 1, but don't want to wipe your current mounted unionfs you could possibly add the /oldroot/mnt/asturw/mnt/ kd/ directory manually and the associated files and directorys that genunion does, but this is an expert technique, be very careful, and you will have to reboot afterwards to let unionfs find your new files/ directories.
