#3 What you are talking about is the size of the microroot UFS image only. In the current Newboot framework you need at least some files more which go into the bootable medium, in this case the EEPROM. Plus all other factors, such as all the questions asked by the OP about what is possible and what isn't (port to a new ISA) --->> forget about it. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
