In-Reply-To: <1825.869733068@critter.dk.tfs.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk There was some discussion of this in a major mag recently, I just can't remember which one. IIRC, there is some encryption stuff in there, and they're only releasing it to select people, in order to avoid problems with virii and such messing up the BIOS/microcode on the chip... Maybe it was on cnews.com, that sounds more like it.
