- I need to put this in the FAQ. The procedure is as follows:
-
-
- 1) Make a copy of dist.fs or fixit.fs, whichever you prefer.
- 2) Mount it on /mnt, using:
-
- mount /dev/fd0a /mnt
-
- 3) Delete the previous kernel on the floppy:
-
- rm /mnt/386bsd
-
- 4) Make sure you are in the compilation directory (where you made
- your new kernel).
- 5) Make sure there is no symbol table on your kernel, or it will be
- too big to fit. From the compilation directory:
-
- strip 386bsd
-
- 6) Copy the new kernel to the floppy:
-
- cp 386bsd /mnt/386bsd
-
- 7) Type sync:
-
- sync ; # 8-)
-
- 8) Unmount the floppy:
-
- umount /mnt
-
- 9) You now have a new bootable disk with your new kernel.
