I see. Is it PXE-compliant? If so, you can use FreeBSD's PXE bootloader (/boot/pxeboot) for loading the kernel. In that case you can also load the root FS image as a separate file, so there is no need to hack it into the kernel binary. As far as I know, there is no official support for loading a FreeBSD kernel directly, without using the FreeBSD boot loader. By the way, why don't you simply mount the root FS via NFS? Is the NIC not supported? What NIC is it? Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
