A bit raw still, but this gets the installer going on some default cloud computing service fedora box. 

yum -y install wget
yum -y install gcc
yum -y install gcc-c++
yum -y install ncurses-devel
yum -y install zlib-devel.i386
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/qemu/qemu-0.12.3.tar.gz
gunzip -c qemu-0.12.3.tar.gz |tar -xvf -
cd qemu-0.12.3
./configure --enable-curses
make
make install
cd
wget http://www.xs4all.nl/~dugo/5boot.img
wget http://www.xs4all.nl/~dugo/ddbboot.img
#get CD image XXX
qemu-img create disk 1G
cp ddbboot.img 5.img; qemu -fda 5.img -hda disk -hdb 386BSDCD -curses -m 8

Then in *brrr* DOS: 

A:\boot 386bsd.ddb wd1d

then..:

Yes, US/Pacific is fine, partitioning, not so much.

Building a Kernel Program

The default kernel works like total crap for after the install. I didn't make a /.config file for it, but that shouldn't stop it from understanding inet. Let's try the book:

Building a Kernel Program

In use, this arrangement is much akin to the layout of utilities in the rest of the system. To build a stock kernel out of the stock release, type make in the kernel directory (/usr/src/kernel).

Can't be that simpel. The Makefile looks for stock.mk, which isn't there.

The stock kernel simply selects the modules necessary to run the system on a ordinary IBM clone PC. This defacto industry standard is a system with a video display, IDE drive, floppy, serial and parallel ports.

Ok,ok, back then the industry standard was running without ethernet adapters, now I understand.

Other "ready-made" configurations are available in the configuration subdirectory, by copying one to the computer's hostname file (ex: host "foo" would use the config/foo.mk file). Custom configurations may be made by editing the file with a text editor.

On initial (re)configuration, the configured kernel should have its compilation dependencies set by issuing a make depend. A stale set of object files can be erased by issuing a make clean prior to recreating a kernel.

Which one do you copy? Know what, will just use what the Jolitzes used on their laptop. 

hostname odysseus
mount -u /
cd /usr/src/kernel
make clean
make depend
make
<pre>

And then the whole thing breaks, moaning about Unclosed conditionals starting with config.std.mk. When you look at it, you see a .if an a .endif plus a bunch of .include. Looks closed to me. To be continued....
