I am not sure what all else is happening, but EOM here is not exactly a command. The sequence: cat > /mnt/etc/fstab <<EOM /dev/fd0a / ufs rw 1 1 EOM Tells it to cat the following lines up until the EOM in to the file names /mnt/etc/fstab Namely, it puts the line /dev/fd0a / ufs rw 1 1 in to that file. It is making a mini /etc/fstab file with the /dev/fdoa entry. You may need to put other/more stuff in it. The other ones are similar, but different stuff to different files - the passwd and master.passwd files. ////jerry > > Also is this bootable floppy suppose to let me see something because so far > all I get is a no /boot/loader. > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
