I'm just taking this opportunity to tell you how much your work is appreciated. Although I have moved on to Damien's Flashboot mainly because of the ramdisk and remote update features, flashdist was what was needed to help me over the threshold. Looking forward to future updates. Thanks, Rickard. PS. And just so that nobody feels left out, thanks to everybody involved for bringing us this excellent operating system.

No more anecdotal kernel configuration based on third party reports, this is the real thing. (It also works fine on a WRAP 2C board that Netgate just sent me) I made some other minor updates for OpenBSD 3.7, adding some very useful utilities to the base install list like ntpd and ospfd. (Note that you should be trying OpenBSD-current if you want to use ospfd) Finally, I fixed a problem I noticed trying to install over a CF that had m0n0wall on it (The FreeBSD disklabel confused things, so we simply wipe it out earlier by moving up fdisk reinit in the order of things) I'm still working on bringing nsh up to speed with the latest kernel features and improve it in other areas. Of course, it isn't necessary to use nsh with flashdist. -c

Just my opinion: but these days, with large (250MB+) CFs so cheap, isn't it a better idea just to do an ordinary minimal install with a Generic kernel and mount the writeable parts of the system with mount_mfs -P? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Its a useful utility when you have to make tftpboot images.
