Log:
Enable splitting up the MFSROOT floppy on amd64, the contents
now overflow
one floppy's worth of space.
Revision Changes Path
1.898 +1 -0 src/release/Makefile
Note: I'm guilty of a pretty big crime here. I can't locate my USB
floppy drive at the moment and don't have any amd64 machines with
"real"
floppy drives in them. I'll go buy another USB floppy drive
tonight and
test that the resulting floppies actually work.
But we're overflowing the MFSROOT floppy and release builds on amd64
were broken as a result. If this commit does somehow result in busted
floppies we need to fix other stuff to make it work, unless we somehow
make what's needed in the MFSROOT floppy smaller we need
split-floppies
to work...
I'll test ASAP regardless.
Seems they work...
Five floppies. Fun wow... :-)
Reminds me of Slackware version 0.0 or somesuch :) Or 386BSD 0.1 + PK
for that matter :)))
That was 8 floppies, iirc.
Note: this amounts to life support for floppies. The end IS coming.
What we need is for people to start working out the kinks of using usb
ram drives to run the installer.
It's on my todo list for the BSDInstaller.
I do not expect to ship FreeBSD 7.0 with floppies.
I don't bother with building floppies under the BSDInstaller. I'm
looking at booting from USB and the network into the BSDInstaller to
install FreeBSD.
