I was using rc4 wherein nftla was not included in root.mount file. 1.0-stable has nftla in the root.mount list. On rc4, I added it to the file and backed it up.
I checked 1.0-stable and linuxrc says pkgpath must be removed for booting to happen. Cannot Linuxrc be modified to say that if pkgpath="" or = nftla1, go to the hack you wrote in the else statement? It felt great when I was able to boot from the DoC. Thanks Brad.

Sounds like it is time for me to revisit that document using Bering 1.0-stable as a starting point. I think Jacques made adjustments to stable that make some of the steps I wrote about unncessary anyhow. The most recent version of that document (in DocBook) format is at: http://cvs.sf.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/leaf/devel/bradfritz/bering_contrib/do c/budiskonchip.xml Patches or specific suggestions for improvements are *always* welcome, so feel free to send 'em my way directly or via the list if you have 'em. (That includes additions for WISP, which I haven't made time to play with yet.) --Brad ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Get the new Palm Tungsten T handheld.
