Re: floppyinstfs size



Are you trying to make an installation floppy disk or just a "standalone" kernel? We use the following process to build "standalone" kernels:

1) configure and compile a kernel with options MEMORY_DISK_HOOKS, MEMORY_DISK_IS_ROOT and MINIROOTSIZE (and optionaly MEMORY_DISK_SERVER=0), see src/sys/arch/sandpoint/conf/RAMDISK 2) set up a directory to contain the files for the ramdisk and possibly an mtree-file and use makefs (8) to create an image-file of the directory (use "-s"-flag to set the size to the same as MINIROOTSIZE in step 1).
3) use mdsetimage (8) to copy the image-file into the kernel built in step 1

2M seems to be insufficient to execute standalone on RAM, I don't know the
exact resean now.
So I'd like to extent the size of floppyinstfs from 2M to 8M.
What should I change?
Should I change disktab?
