Hello, Have you seen http://wiki.netbsd.org/amazon_ec2/build_your_own_ami/ ? However, it doesn't seem to be up-to-date, because it's missing any mention of http://bxr.su/n/etc/rc.d/resize_root , for example, but that's still a pretty good starting point. BTW, I'm not too sure whether or not http://bxr.su/n/distrib/utils/embedded/files/resize_disklabel is also required, because resize_root is merely a wrapper around http://mdoc.su/n/resize_ffs.8 . http://wiki.netbsd.org/amazon_ec2/ also mentions http://www.netbsd.org/~ryoon/ena/how-to-create-ami-for-aws-c5.txt , which has NetBSD 8.99.28, but doesn't seem to be related to the existing AMIs from wiki otherwise. Cheers, Constantine. http://cm.su/
