Then, prepare a 8.2 world along with the kernel containing the mps driver and/or module. Once your image is done, install a dummy Linux on your box. Next, inject your mfsbsd image in the disks with dd , and reboot. Once you reboot you'll have a fully functional bsd running from ram. You will then be able to perform a manual install as I roughly describe here: http://my.gd/bsd.htm(l) You will also need, once your install is done, to recopy a kernel including the mps driver, seeing the one from the 8.2 isos doesn't. > Thanks, > Jaime Kikpole > > -- > Network Administrator > Cairo-Durham Central School District > http://cns.cairodurham.org > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]" _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
