4:51 PM - Make FreeBSD boot cd

# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld buildkernel
# mkdir /tmp/cdrom
# make installworld installkernel DESTDIR=/tmp/cdrom
# cd /usr/src/etc
# make distribution DESTDIR=/tmp/cdrom
# mkisofs -o /tmp/cdrom.iso -r -no-emul-boot -b /tmp/cdrom/boot/cdboot /tmp/cdrom
# burncd -s max data /tmp/cdrom.iso fixate eject



I think you need to use -b boot/cdboot (i.e. I think it's a relative path to the root of the image) or it won't work and it's --no-emul-boot I believe. -J can be handy for Windoze systems as well. :-P

4:52 PM - Apple did switch

Think sad. Apple is now going to build intel boxes starting next year. Mac OS X comes to the "PC". They will have bioses and be able to run windows as well. They are going to use pc partitions too. :(

Think downgrade.. IRQ hell has come to macintosh. pcintosh really.
