Does anyone use it?
I am trying to boot from a FAT32 formatted USB stick and to minimise the amount
of stuff I have to put in an MFS I'd like to be able to load the kernel
directly from the USB stick.
I'm testing in parallels and I have started the loader from a normally
formatted disk and I have another formatted as FAT32 (with newfs_msdos) and the
loader sees it but doesn't show any files present, eg
OK lsdev
cd devices:
disk devices:
disk0: BIOS drive A:
disk1: BIOS drive C:
disk1s1a: FFS
disk1s1b: swap
disk1s1d: FFS
disk1s1e: FFS
disk1s1f: FFS
disk2: BIOS drive D:
disk2s1: FAT-32
pxe devices:
OK set currdev=disk2s1:
OK ls
/
OK
Whereas if I mount it once booted in FreeBSD I can see the files I put on it as
you would expect.
