Re: NFS diskless on -current

1999-05-29 Thread Bruce Evans
I'm obviously missing something really stupid. Would anyone care to educate me about changes to diskless booting with NFS root filesystems since February 24? rootdev is now correctly initialised to NODEV, but vfs_mountrootfs() still uses NODEV to terminate the list of root devices to try.

I'm still at 3.2; however, I wonder what plans there are (if any) to have pcmcia support in 4.x (like the 3com 3c574, etc). Might be a good idea to include a pcmcia floppy in the installation media (like Linux already has). Thanks. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with
