(still did not receive the 5.5 cd btw)
I built a bsd.rd with a bigger ramdisk, MINIROOT is 35840 (0x8C00).
i do make bsd.rd and everythings build fine, but the kernel does not boot
i have just time to see the first number of loading [xxxxx]
and instant reboot, i have no COM output on this machine and <pause>
does not help to see the very last message.
Is there a maximum size for the ramdisk ? i have 4 gig ram...
I cannot solve this by myself :-( i can only try to reduce the size
and hope, a bit of help ?
Best regards,

Feedback:
* fsck -o space is undocumented even in mount, it removes the warning
if -m 0 (instead of default 5%) is used but i am not sure it is the
only effect.
* Could the RAMDISK conf file inherit the ramdisk file size to set
the MINIROOT define , or push the MINIROOT through the call of make ?
* Missleading behavior, creating a mr.fs with file in it but it was a
badly shaped one.
With this diff i finally found out the ramdisk was too small, yet the
copy worked and it is rdsetroot who detect the error, all the creation
of mr.fs was sucessfull but somehow wrong.

then i replace 515 with 4096 and :
newfs: fragment size 512 is too small, minimum is 4096 so i replace fa to 4096
Why other disktab has 512 in and yet are working ?
And now i am a bit stuck:
cp bsd bsd.rd
/usr/src/distrib/amd64/ramdiskA/rdsetroot bsd.rd mr.fs
ramdisk too small 0x2300000 0x460000
*** Error 1 in /usr/src/distrib/amd64/ramdiskA
(../common/Makefile.inc:65 'bsd.rd')
# ls -lh ./mr.fs
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wsrc 35.0M May 5 17:53 ./mr.fs
But i did change the RAMDISK size in RAMDISK kernel conf.
so i suppose i did something very wrong.
(here is the diff i made in src tree)
