RAMDISK, part II



Hello Guys,

    Thanks to you guys, I was able to set up a 32 meg RAMDISK image and
stick it into a kernel. Everything went great... just one problem... it does
not boot :)
    The obsd boot manager starts loading the kernel... then... reboots the
machine... any ideas? Is there any limitation on the image size inside the
kernel?
    My steps were:

    * Create a brand new kernel with RAMDISK_HOOKS and MINIROOTSIZE...
    * Compile it
    * Create the image...
    * rdsetroot bsd < myimage
    * copy everything to another harddrive
    * installboot the other harddrive
    * rebooted.
    * Started to load the new kernel... boomm... rebooted :)

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!
