Hi, I'm wanting to do a install via a serial console as I've only got one
monitor, but I havent got any floppy drives here either..
Can the floppy procedure be used with a bootable cd, by just doing echo
"/boot/loader -h" > /iso_dir/boot.config ?
.. and I'm really wanting to put /usr on a existing vinum volume, is this
a feasable solution: add vinum_load="yes" and vinum_after="mkdir /raid;
mount /dev/vinum/raid /raid;ln -s /raid/usr /usr" so allow /raid/usr to be
used as /usr?
And the final question, after copying the files to my hardrive and editing
them, how can I get the boot image for the cd onto the new cd - this can
be done in either freebsd (or windows/nero - whatever is easiest)!
If there are any resources I have not found I would appreciate a link,
otherwise any help is appreciated!
