Something that was suggested in #FreeBSDHelp on EFnet just now: sysinstall already has the ability to dynamically load modules. If this is the case, I don't see where the "problem" is. Make the kernel on the floppy disk have few/no drivers built in, and have then all loaded from a third disk. Have the third disk generated dynamically from say, a website? _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
