Can anybody tell me answer for these questions: 1. what all steps does FreeBSD takes when it gets start. I mean it reads from ROM and then loads the operating system etc etc. 2. Does freebsd kernel supports thread architecture. If yes then how ? I know about sunOS and it supports threading. Thanks Tarun _
