Content-Length: 765 Sender: owner-port-sparc@NetBSD.ORG Precedence: list X-Loop: port-sparc@NetBSD.ORG Actually, I was looking for a way to make it happen any way possible, be it NetBSD or Solaris 1. I would prefer not to downgrade to Solaris 2 in order to do this as I don't know how well it would work with NetBSD. Ostensibly I would *LOVE* to be able to build a tape-based miniroot filesystem, i.e. actually have the tape device mountable. It would, of course, be read-only (caught that trick from Pyramid), but it would enable the disk to be completely relabeled. One could fit a reasonable miniroot into 8MB, and probably even 4MB. I'm rambling again. Coffee will do that, though.... --*greywolf; -- Rule #1: If you can't interrupt it, terminate it. If you can't terminate it, kill it. If you can't kill it, reboot. --greywolf@captech.com
