I'm trying to build a PicoBSD "Bridge" floppydisk so that I can create an
Ethernet<-->WaveLAN bridge (basically, the poor man's WaveLAN Access
Point) using an old 486 with a ISA->PCMCIA adapter and a WaveLAN PCMCIA
card.
Unfortunately, I'm having problems buildin the PicoBSD bootfloppy.
I've been following the directions in:
/usr/src/release/picobsd/doc/src/how2build.html
So I go into the /usr/src/release/picobsd/build directory, and I run the
"picobsd" build script found therein. I answer all the questions (under
"Type", I choose "bridge"; I edit the kernel.config file and add all the
bits for PCMCIA, WaveLAN, my particular ethernet card, etc.) then I edit
the crunch.conf file, then I hit "Ready, build it!" It churns for awhile,
but then bombs out like so:
PicoBSD build -- Current parameters:
1. Type: bridge name bridge
2. MFS size: 2200 kB
3. Site-info:
4. Full-path: /usr/src/release/picobsd/bridge
-> We'll use the sources living in /usr/src
-> vnode is 0
-> I hope you have checked the PICOBSD config file...
(cd /usr/src/sys/compile/PICOBSD-bridge; make KERNEL=kernel -DNO_MODULES)

I used "find" and "locate" but couldn't find any files named "crunch.mk"
anywhere in my src tree... just to be certain, I wiped it all out and
re-checked it out from cvs, and still there was no crunch.mk.
I've never worked with PicoBSD before, and I freely admit without shame
that I don't really know what I'm doing here. Is there anyone out there
who has done something similar to me (building a WaveLAN bridge) or
someone who knows more about PicoBSD in general who would be willing to
lend a hand? I would be very grateful for any assistance receivd.
Thanks! - Donald
