Hi,
I try to build a kernel that supports dsikless booting (on a  
FreeBSD-RELEASE-6.0). I have copied the GENERIC config file as DISKLESS  
and added following lines (as described in  
/usr/share/examples/diskless/clone_root:
	options MFS
	options BOOTP
	options BOOTP_NFSROOT
	options BOOTP_COMPAT
When I start building the DISKLESS kernel, I get following output:
23:58:56 beastie:/usr/src# make buildkernel KERNCONF=DISKLESS

*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src.

Did I overlook something? Is this option obsolete or so? It is not  
mentioned in the handbook.
Please advise.
TIA, Guido.
