If you could build custom boot images, try
http://people.freebsd.org/~kib/realbtx
realbtx.2.patch is the patch, and loader is the /boot/loader built
with that
patch applied. If you could rearrange CD image with that loader put into
/boot, then try to load from it and report results.
CAUTION: Do not install boot2 or loader on your harddrive, code had very
little exposure and may cause you machine to become unbootable.
Hi Konstantin,
Thanks this worked. I have another question though. I mounted the distro
1 cd and
cd to /cdrom and did
tar cSf - . |(cd /usr/myboot;tar xSf -)
so I could move in the new loader program. The problem is I ended up
with an
iso file system after I did
mkisofs -R -no-emul-boot -b boot/cdboot -o /tmp/bootable.iso /usr/myboot
that was 991mb which was to big to put on a CD. Where did I go wrong?
Since this was only a test I rm'ed packages, rescue and release
directories, but how did it all
fit on the CD originally?
Many files are hardlinked on the original media (for example all in
/rescue is hardlink to one binary), but tar makes a copy of each file.
