Hi folks,
I am trying to make a memory root disk for an EBSA285, and
have managed to make ramdisk-13I.fs, my file system image.
Then I do the following:
mdsetimage -v ./netbsd ./ramdisk-13I.fs
and get the following response:
got symbols from ./netbsd
mapped ./netbsd
./netbsd is an a.out binary
_md_root_size is at offset 0x135df8 in ./netbsd
_md_root_size has value 0x190000
_md_root_image is at offset 0x135dfc in ./netbsd
copying image from ./ramdisk-13I.fs into ./netbsd
done copying image
exiting
All seems good and well, but when I look at the date last
modified, and the current date, it shows that it did not
actually modify the file at all! This is verified by doing a
cmp between originals and "mdsetimaged" kernels: they are
identical. Any ideas?
Thanks
Bruce
