- regardless of whether or not you're using Julian's boot blocks
- (which are wonderful!) you'll still have some problems with using
- a kernel not named "386bsd" because a lot of things depend
- on this being the kernel name...
-
- your shellscript idea is probably the best, for your needs...
- (but use Julian's bootblocks, too... they've saved my butt once or
- twice, and left me with as running system when /386bsd got hosed
- for some reason or another...)
