(16) smkelly@edgemaster:~$ ls -l /boot/liloboot -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 212992 Nov 18 11:12 /boot/liloboot http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/boot/i386/liloldr/Makefile says: This is `liloboot', which creates a file which can be treated like a Linux kernel image, and is designed to be dropped into a Linux system and booted via LILO. Once booted, the user is greeted by the FreeBSD loader. This still isn't quite complete, as the the root= specification from LILO isn't currently passed to the loader yet. -- Sean Kelly | PGP KeyID: D2E5E296 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.zombie.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
