RS / RSPRO FreeBSD

[Monthadar Al Jaberi]

Sure,

I used the standard kernel configuration file and modifed this:
options			MD_ROOT
options			MD_ROOT_SIZE=40960
options			ROOTDEVNAME=\"ufs:md0\"

to generate filesystem:
makefs -t ffs -B big -s 40m rootfs.img path-to-filesystem/

to embedd the filesystem (script code):
addr=($(strings -td kernel | grep "MFS Filesystem" | awk '{print
$1}')) #calculate start and end address for mdroot
rootfs_start=${addr[0]}
rootfs_end=$((${addr[1]}+1))
echo "Generating kernel image"
head -c ${rootfs_start} kernel > kernel.new
cat rootfs.img >> kernel.new
tail -c +${rootfs_end} kernel >> kernel.new
gzip -9 kernel.new

Sorry for the extreme delay, hope it helps...

br,
