Didn't Poul just post on -hackers about some patches from some W Gerald Hicks guy (whoever that is ;^)) that objcopy's the MFS image into the binary, instead of using the current hack^Wmethod?

Re: Out of disk space on snapshots-jp?
I might propose that any driver supported under sysinstall needs to support kldloading but I haven't really thought that through :-) The issue here is that the BOOTMFS kernel has traditionally (for freebsd) been derived by filtering GENERIC. GENERIC has been changed in a way that causes BOOTMFS to be too large. With the current hack^Wmethod used by make release we are required to add elements to a shell script which deletes items from the GENERIC configuration to create BOOTMFS. If my proposition holds water we can do away with the linkage to GENERIC in favor of a statically defined and minimal BOOTMFS kernel.

All drivers not in the boot or install paths should be omitted, but only if it's possible to end up with a GENERIC without their omission after the install is complete. This is actually a pretty thorny problem, since sound drivers could be argued to be in the installation path at some point, if one support interfaces for the blind (a putative pin-reader driver that allowed the pins to follow a region surrounding the mouse pointer would also fall into the same category). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
Re: Out of disk space on snapshots-jp?
No, the problem is because the kernel has grown too large to fit on the md(4) filesystem prepared for it. src/release//dokern.sh needs to be adapted to omit new drivers added to GENERIC.

Out of disk space on snapshots-jp?
Hi there, it looks like the past few days snapshots build failures were all because out of disk space on the snapshots-jp box. -- // Donny To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
