I have one more doubt. As you all know that i am using FreeBSD 5.4 version and iam creating a bootable CD of this.

Now iam writing my own directory which has the entire FreeBSD 5.4 binaries and i wanted to copy /var, /tmp, and /etc directories from 5.4-RELEASE into my own directory.

But 5.4 version have "/etc/fbtab" file instead of "/etc/fstab" file. So could anyone of u could you give me the suggestion what to do with this? Or else do u guys want me to copy the "/etc/fbtab" file itself?

Suggestions please.

Bye,
Pradeep

I dont have "vnode driver" in FreeBSD 5.4. I have to include this pseudo-device option in the kernel and compile it. What is your suggestion.

Please anyone of you respond to me as soon as possible for which i would be grateful to you.

Bye,
Pradeep

first of all do a make LINT in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
In LINT you'll find all the possible vars for your kernel
put in /etc/make.conf KERNCONF="YOURKERNELNAME"

then in /usr/src make buildkernel && make installkernel
