HI Claude, The last list message I mentioned, about modifying "loader.rc", *did* work at the time. My brother was the poster, so I'm certain he's not mistaken. I did mention that the technique is only useful for files that *aren't* in the compressed image. As I understand things, using <shellcmd> in your .XML config file is the only easy way to do what Max wants. The alternative is using FreeSBIE, Knoppix (Linux live CD), or a FreeBSD or Linux system running off a hard drive, to uncompress the filesystem image, mount it, modify, recompress, etc. -klode On Tue, 15 Mar 2005 13:36:46 +0100, Claude Hecker <claude dot hecker at phoenix dash mecano dot com> wrote: > Hi Max, > > This is not the right way.. > Because the filesystem at boottime is stored in an image file > which is named mfsroot.gz, but u can change in that way configs .. etc > > Am 15.03.2005 13:24 Uhr schrieb "Max Khitrov" unter <maximkh at yahoo dot com >: > > > You're talking about this, right? > > umount /cf > > mount /dev/ad0a /cf # <-- or whatever your boot device is > > cp /cf/boot/loader.rc /cf/boot/loader.rc.temp > > echo "set console=comconsole" > /cf/boot/loader.rc > > cat /cf/boot/loader.rc.temp >> /cf/boot/loader.rc > > rm /cf/boot/loader.rc.temp > > sync # <-- i'm paranoid (a reboot should > > umount /cf # <-- really paranoid do these anyway) > > > > Does this mean that we can make changes to the image that are permanent > > directly from the exec.php?
