Now where's the fix you were supposed to have attached? :-) I'm actually semi-serious with the above, if only because you've now declared yourself to be one of those rare folks who have even *tried* this, much less had the motivation to see it work. Myself, I'd just put NetBSD on a spare box and stop thinking about it, as I suspect would most people in the FreeBSD core team. I'm not say that there isn't a problem with FreeBSD here - there probably is, assuming that interoperability is some kind of goal (and I believe it is, though not a highest-priority one). What I'm saying is that the *only* way problems like this get fixed is when someone with both: a) the skill and b) the motivation gets involved enough to come up with a fix acceptable to both parties. Actually, (a) is often optional when (b) is high enough, since skill can be acquired. As far as I can see, you're it! :-) Jordan
