Running the build script for PicoBSD found under /usr/src/release/picobsd/build/picobsd aborts with an error when it tried to pass a no longer supported parameter to the newfs command. Fix: apply the following patch the the picobsd build script under /usr/src/release/picobsd/build. It fixes the problem. 4a5,7 > # Removed the newfs -p 0 parameter, since it's no longer supported > # by newfs in FreeBSD 5.0 - S.

Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->freebsd-small Assign to -small mailing list in the absence of a picobsd maintainer
State Changed From-To: open->feedback Is this still a problem with recent versions of FreeBSD?
the picobsd script has been rewritten recently and does not invoke newfs directly anymore. It now uses sysutils/makefs for creating filesystems. This seems to obsolete this PR now.
State Changed From-To: feedback->closed Feedback timeout (many months). The audit-trail seems to suggest the affected system was rewritten long ago.
