Okay, I thought I might better do some work for this myself, instead of just asking. So I've built a RELENG_7_0 release with the above patch, and some other minor ones I'm using. The bootonly ISO is here: http://www.andric.com/freebsd/btxtest/7.0-BTXTEST-i386-bootonly.iso MD5: 4e9c05bf55bc9329b1aecaa2aa336a7f SHA256: 63cca954f04f2a652519cd5ffd5fe9e7ea36a97bad115b6c2d9754fe5e918528 Find the other ISOs and the complete patch I've applied in <http://www.andric.com/freebsd/btxtest/>, but note the disc1-disc3 ISOs miss packages, I didn't build those. With this ISO I can finally get FreeBSD booting on my ThinkPad X41, for which I use an external USB DVD drive. Every FreeBSD release until now has crashed on this combination... :) _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
