Re: FreeBSD 5.2.1 and CD9660_ROOT bootable cdroms
In FreeBSD 4.x I used parts of that to create a cdrom. In 5.x I now use parts of the freesbie port to create bootable cdroms. It uses cdboot.

FreeBSD 5.2.1 and CD9660_ROOT bootable cdroms
Hello, I just upgraded from FreeBSD 4.10 and installed FreBSD 5.2.1. I am trying to recreate the bootable cdrom I used to have only with 5.2.1 and am having little luck. I used to use vnconfig so I replaced with mdconfig, I used to use disklable and replaced with bsdlabel. The old instructions I used were here - http://home.earthlink.net/~joseph-ja/FreeBSD_cdrom.html I replaced using gzip with kgzip. I have gotton the cd to actually boot and then it says decompressing kernel, the kernel gets decompressed and then it just stops. On one line it has /kernel.kgz text=0x165d data=0xec386=0x10506 syms=[0x4+0x460+0x4+0x1f3] The next line has \ And it just sits there and does nothing. It just stops. Do I need to replace CD9660_ROOT with something else in the kernel or somewhere else ( boot -C is used now)? Do I need to tell the kernel something else? My old 4.10 cd still boots fine, but its a little out of date. I have looked at cdroot and it looks like it is still designed for 4.x series. I dont want to use Fresbie, because I don't need all that on my router / firewall. I also don't see any reason to use picobsd, when I can get 4.10 working. Any ideas? Thanks, Joe ___ Do you Yahoo!?
