Well, you can add printf's to it to make it more verbose. :) A lot of the code it uses is from libstand (that's where the cd9660 fs is for example as well as the generic file operation layer). > Bye! > > Michael Reifenberger > ^.*Plaut.*$, IT, R/3 Basis, GPS -- John Baldwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Unfortunately this loader can't boot -current kernels due to version mismatch... Bye!

Hmm, I've never done a manual boot.catalog, always just ran mkisofs as so: mkisofs -b boot/cdboot -no-emul-boot -r -J -o foo.iso /some/dir and let mkisofs create its own boot.catalog. If you do that instead of creating one yourself does it work any better? If not, then you can revert the revisions that turned off all the debugging output, hook up a serial console on COM1, and prepare to be spammed with lots of debug output. :) -- John Baldwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
Making bootable recovery CD using cdboot/loader fails
Hi, a CD created using the following commands fails during loading /boot/kernel/kernel (just freezes up) under a recent current: cd /usr/tmp mkdir root dump -0a -f - / | ( cd root; restore -r -f - ) dd if=/dev/zero of=root/boot/boot.catalog count=5 mkisofs -b boot/cdboot -no-emul-boot -c boot/boot.catalog \ -r -J -V LiveCD \ -o root.iso root burncd -e -f /dev/acd0c blank data root.iso fixate Using a loader binary from 4.5-mini.iso works insofar that it works with a 4.5 /kernel but can't execute a -current kernel (loader version too low...) Any clues how to debug this problem? Bye!
