HOW to boot off the 5.4-Release CD with a different kernel that supports more hardware
Hi, The default 5.4 kernel does include the MK-III patches from Soren as the 6.0 default Kernel does. I have problems installing the 5.4 Release on my system because I am missing these patches. I have tried burning a cd while replacing the kernel with a recompiled one but apparently the mfsroot.flp is not well updated against the new kernel. I am relatively new to FreeBSD and don`t understand well the exact booting process even after some readings on forums and web sites. Could a gentle someone explain how the modify the original 5.4 Iso and replace the stock kernel ? Thanks in advance for any help regarding this. P.S. If I am not in the right mailing-list for this or if question is of too low degree, please simply disregard the post. __ Lèche-vitrine ou lèche-écran ? magasinage.yahoo.ca ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've never done it with FreeBSD; but I found the following documentation, which may be helpful: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/release-build.html Good luck, Andrew Gould ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This isn't the short-cut you were probably hoping for, but this should explain how to make a CD like the Project did: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/index.html There's also a release(7) manpage. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
