Re: [Testbed-admins] Question about update MFS

Hi Mike,

Sorry for late update. The two kernel look the same when I see their size.
However, when I copied the kernel from Freebsd to Frisbee, it does not work
either. The same error message happens. 
As you mentioned, what is the difference between freebsd and Frisbee? Looks
I am confused about the kernel. Is there any choice to modify the MFS?

Best Regards,

Cheng

Are the two kernels in /tftpboot/{frisbee,freebsd}/boot/kernel different?

Try copying /tftpboot/freebsd/boot/kernel to /tftpboot/frisbee/boot/kernel
and see if frisbee works.
