Well, the issue is that the kernel grows because of new drivers, but size of an emulated 2.88MB floppy doesn't grow. You either have to rip stuff out of the kernel or use the new method. I'd like to understand how the stuff in distrib works and playing with the instructions of Kevin Lo seems a good idea to me. Well I thought you just wanted to get it working ;) I'll gladly try your instructions when I'm done understanding the stuff in distrib though, I noticed that you invested a lot of time in it and seems to be very detailed. regards, Tobias Regards, ahb
Re: livecd error
Hi,
I hope this is not considered thread-highjacking but it sort of fits into this
thread, so here it goes:
I'm trying to follow these instructions to build a live CD based on 4.0
stable:
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/07/14/openbsd_live.html
I'm in trouble when building the RAMDISK kernel with the modified
Makefile.inc:
cd /usr/src/distrib/i386/ramdisk_cd make
make stops with an error because it tries to copy too much into a mounted
device with too little space:

I haven't really understood what the 2.8MB device is for regarding the whole
process. Can anybody explain and propose a solution? Can't I just copy the
stuff to another device, that's bigger? If this is just for creating a floppy
image that's bootable and is insignificant regarding my live CD, can I just
delete these instructions from Makefile.inc?
The instructions by Kevin Lo say:
In the /usr/src/distrib/i386/ramdisk_cd directory, copy the two files bsd and
cdrom36.fs to the /livecd directory.
The cdrom36.fs in my case would be cdrom40.fs and has a fliesize bigger than
2.8MB anyway? I'm not able to spot any reference to any cdrom{version}.fs
file being created in the Makefile.inc. What's my problem?
Since I haven't been able to apply the patch
to /usr/src/distrib/i386/common/Makefile.inc with patch I deleted the lines
with a - in front of it in the patch file and added the lines with the +
at the appropriate lines. Just to avoid simple mistakes, I'll include the
whole Makefile.inc here. Sorry, if this is not appropriate.
