- (I had to be "Mr. Shoehorn" to get the unoffical dist floppies i put
- up the other day to work, and this was one of the things i had to figger
- out...)
-
- the kernel, as distributed, it "strip"ped... this is generally a bad
- thing, but for a application like that (where nothing wants its symbol
- table or name list) it's ok...
-
- also of note, the floppy filesystems were created with:
- newfs -c 32 -i 32768 /dev/rfd0a 5in
-
- <sigh> nothing like tweaking filesystem params to get more space... 8-)
