1999-08-13 Thread Ben Rosengart
I submit that putting "-z" in here is silly, because the sample cvsup config files turn on compression, and suggest commenting it out if you have a fast link. It seems counterintuitive that one can comment out the compression in the standard supfiles and then have it enabled by default with "make

I see the same problem when trying to boot FreeBSD-3.0-RELEASE (or there abouts) and later cdroms on my TP770. I can boot FreeBSD-2.2.8 and earlier FreeBSD-3.0-SNAP cdroms just fine. I think it has something to do with the new boot loader that went in just before 3.0-RELEASE. Tom On Fri, 13 A
