Quite right Jeremy, thanks for that and sorry for the noise. I'd misremembered the problem with the memstick install in 128MB, which was that even with kern.cam.ctl.disable=1 (saving ~35MB), there wasn't enough memory to complete installation successfully. The CD install (also with kern.cam.ctl.disable=1) works fine, apparently because after booting, selecting 'Live CD' rather than 'Install' shows 58MB free in top, rather than 44MB with the memstick; it's that close a thing, as verified by a series of test installs this afternoon. No idea why booting from memstick rather than CD would cost ~14MB, but I'm sure most people wouldn't much care .. cheers, Ian _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
