Remote boot, but not diskless operation

2001-03-16 Thread Rohit Rakshe
Hello, I am running FreeBSD 4.1 on an Intel-III box. It is not a diskless machine, so root fs is still local, but I need to boot kernel over ethernet. Reason for such a requirement: I am doing some kernel debugging and it is relatively quicker (after a panic) to recompile kernel on a server and

Hi, One way to boot the kernel over the network is to use PXE (if your machine is recent enough to support it *well* : that is with a recent version of the PXE firmware) there is no real document on PXE booting you can read a note by Alfred Perlstein on

sysctl_kern_proc doesn't handle the case when no procs match given criteria

Hello -hackers The sysctl_kern_proc routine in kern_proc.c doesn't handle the case when no processes match the given criteria. I.e., if no processes match, it will return 0 even though it never called SYSCTL_OUT; thus, the output data is junk. This can be demonstrated by giving ps(1) arguments
