Re: Building bsd.rd with Adaptec Support

 What's the easiest way for me to build a bsd.rd disk that will allow me to
 upgrade my crappy Adaptec-powered machine from 3.6 to 3.7 or -current?
 Does bsd.rd have all the install/upgrade/shell stuff embedded in it, or is
 there some magic that is done by the ramdisks that are on the ftp servers?

steps 1 - 4 of the release(8) man page.
