Re: should MINIMAL boot?

2017-09-15 Thread Jakub Lach
The definition of a MINIMAL used is a specific one- it does not contain
anything which can be loaded by modules.

It could be a starting point to something else, but then, it still contains 
other things you probably not need. If I get the point, I would probably 
try to boot MINIMAL on a new hardware, build all modules by default, 
see which modules get loaded and work from there.

Seems this is not the case.

You have to load storage related modules (disk controller, cam, geom
classes required to taste disks), for example, to boot MINIMAL in a
VMWare VM with scsi attached, GPT partionned disk :
- cam.ko
- mpt.ko
- geom_part_gpt.ko

should MINIMAL boot?

2017-09-12 Thread Michael W. Lucas
Hi,

Tried booting MINIMAL on last weekend's current, on both UFS and ZFS
hosts in VirtualBox. Neither could find its boot drive. Before I dive
deeper and file a bug, wanted to ask:

Should a MINIMAL kernel boot and run?

If not, I won't waste my time.

Thanks,
==ml
