Are you running stock Nov. 12, 2006 or that code plus patches? As for creating a bsd.rd that works with the mini... The easiest way to do that is to follow the instructions in release(8) to generate a home grown release directory and burn that directory onto a CD. Before issuing the "make release" command in /usr/src/etc replace the file /sys/arch/i386/conf/RAMDISK_CD with a config file that will create a bsd.rd that the mini can use. The result is a custom release CD with a bsd.rd for the mini and containing all of the release sets. I've a config file that works, but I'm still tweaking it. When I'm finished I'll post it. The biggest issue is that option SMALL_KERNEL cant be used with the ACPI devices so, to make space, you have to remove many of the unused devices. I wound up removing just about everything that wasn't mentioned in the mini dmesg. // marc
