Adrian Godong Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I was running from deadmoo's image the other day, everything went well, no nned to add any kernel flags during boot. Then I transferred using CCC to 10gig hard disk (one partition only), then things starts to mess up. When booting I need to add -f platform=x86pc. I've read that these options can be added to the boot.plist above, but can't find out how to edit the file. It is on read-only access right. How can I change that? I'm new to BSD and dun't know any terminal commands (beside the ls and login and quit) . Also, what is the -f switch doing? Do I really need that switch every time that I boot? Because I heard that it skips certain boot configuration, maybe the boot configuration can be disabled manually? Thanks! Good work you're doing guys. Helps a lot!
