While in the process of updating my stable from FreeBSD 8.0R to 8.1R, I was a bit put off when the nanoBSD script couldn't find the kernel configuration file. Specifically "Missing kernel configuration" (for those Googling) when it starts to build the kernel. Since I had built an 8.0R nanoBSD image just hours before, I was pretty sure the kernel configuration was right where it was supposed to be. So time to look for script changes. A quick trip to the CVS logs turned up the clue: > > MFC 205980: > > Stop hard coding i386 as the arch for the build. Instead, default to the > processor we're running on.

Anyway, if you're building nanoBSD for a Soekris on anything but an i386 (IA32) build platform, you now need to add "NANO_ARCH=i386" to your nanoBSD configuration file. There appear to be ipfw related changes, too, but I just ran into that and am still investigating. I do recall they merged ipfw and ipfw6 configurations in 8.1, but I am only using IPv4, hmm. Got to boot back to 8.0 so I can get back to the web and find out. Saved again by nanoBSD's dual partitions. -Jed _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
