Date: Thu, 11 Jan 1996 15:42:08 -0500 Organization: UMass Lowell Lines: 12 Message-ID: <30F57620.41C6@cs.uml.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: pluto.cs.uml.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0b4 (X11; I; OSF1 T3.2 alpha) I have a need for making a cutom boot floppy which recognizes ethernet cards which are not at their default addresses, to make software installations easier (get this - I'm using FreeBSD to mass- install Windows95...). How can I get the kernel to fit on the boot floppy, and still be able to boot? The kernel is 1.8Mb... -- ====================================================================== Brian O'Neill - Director of Computing, Computer Science University of Massachusetts at Lowell oneill@cs.uml.edu (508) 934-3645 "Nothing's the same anymore." - Sinclair, Babylon 5, _Chrysalis_ <*>
