I thought the FreeBSD loader spoke FAT32 already, although now I go and have a proper look I see otherwise :( > I've been meaning to trial it out actually. It sure would be > interesting to boot a kernel/mfs off of a DOS bootable FAT USB. I think you can do it if you makefs /boot and feed it to syslinux using memdisk (I plan on trying this today). I was thinking the loader had FAT support though so I could just get Syslinux to load the loader then it would do the rest. Although heck how hard can read only FAT support be to write? :) -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
